options you are taking: Did Roosevelt's America in January. Doing Tudor Rebellions in Summer.

I am seriously finding the Tudor paper so hard. Mainly coz our teachers are useless, our Henry VIII teacher was in such a fluster she tried to tell us that the P.O.G had nothing to do with Religion. thats how screwed i am.
Does anyone have any info on what i should be revising- any good books- we've got woodward's book and photocopies of fletcher's.

For Tudor Rebellions I am using Nicholas Fellow's book, which is very good and quite easy to revise from. Have you been shown the complete set of past papers? The questions don't vary too greatly year-to-year.

Thank You!
We've not finished the course and we've got 1 and half weeks left.
I've gone over all the papers and divided them up into sections which has kind of calmed me down a little.
I want a nice cause question- fingers crossed because the last one and one before that weren't 'To what extent was 'blah' a cause of rebellion' type of question.

a nature one on why they failed would be nice.
but i can see 'To what extent did rebellions not achieve any of their aims' coming up.

i'd jump for joy if an Elizabeth one came up- why she had less :smile:

'To what extent was 'blah' a cause of rebellion' type of question.

One of those comes up pretty much every year and I reel out the same answer for all of them, just with a bit of structure re-jigging.

Yeah, I'd really love that. Our History teacher is in love with Elizabeth so I have loads of notes on her.
