Is anyone else doing AS History? There seems so much content compared to other A levels.

[1234sunny]

i did and there is a lot of content but like you only really need to kno the half of the first 2 modules if ur on OCR so its not that much

[justjoshing]

I'm doing edexcel.

[xHotBunnyx]

Yeh I am doin A-Level.

Piss.

[alabaster_codify]

Yeah. It's loads.. but it's more interesting than some other subjects so in some ways it's worth it. I'm doing WJEC..

[moody28028]

I'm doing edexcel too. Which topics are you studying?

[thisisyesterday]

I did it at A-level, with Edexcel also. It has a lot of content, but it's also a lot easier to blag. There is no right or wrong answer, you just need to be able to analyse the area you are studying and develop good arguments for a limited number of angles they will throw at you. Read around a lot, outside of your text book, and you will pick up lots of nice things to add to your exams. I personally found it the easiest out of all my A-levels, at AS anyhow.

I dunno, I am doing A2 at the moment and I don't think there is that much content.... I do Law as well and there is waaay more to learn for that. With history you just need to generally know the story n you should be able to come up with some decent arguments in the exam. Thats my tactic anyway!

The unification of germany at the moment. I don't really know how to answear history questions, even though I got an A at GCSE

[paddy__power]

[rachxl]

I'm doing edexcel too.. pretty crammed course, so much content for a pathetic exam with 2 questions only.

But still, history's interesting.

Just write in themed paragraphs, evaluate and have an argument Sorted!

[xHotBunnyx]

It's not so much your 'style of writing' at AS its more the content.

At A2 it's more an overview and writing style.

Well it is for my exam board from what we've been told to do.

Yeah its a fair amount, but it sinks in eventually. Its fairly easy in the exam to do well.

[necessarily benevolent]

For Edexcel - Unit 2 - do you still have just 55 minutes to write two essays? That was a bitch.

[Bexxie2008]

im also doing edexcel- im studying the henry VIII and the break with rome etc etc, and with the other teacher im studying the american civil rights movement/vietnam
yehhhhhhhh

[Elrobi]

I'm doing CCEA AS History, and one of the main things I've learned is that; YOU'VE NEVER DONE ENOUGH.

Ever. EvereverEVER.

Hmm... I think you need to remember that content always takes a back seat to broader 'factors' and analysis of said factors. You don't need knowledge of minute detail I would suggest.
