Hello, I just don't understand what would you give for the evidence, would you give a fact or do you have to quote. By the way I'm doing Edexcel History B: American West Paper in June.

I'm really worried because I'm aiming for an A* but I'm no where near it yet.

For source-based questions, your evidence would come from the sources: direct quotes and inferences from provided data would be obvious choices. For any longer questions, you would need to give evidence based on your own knowledge, such as specific historical examples relating to the point you're making.

I got a D in my history mock but ended up with an A* overall

oh ok this is helpful as last minute revision since the exam's on 20th June 2012. I don't know some of the content because for most of the topic we had a cover sociology teacher teaching us history. Any other advice? btw I have the official edexcel book for american west & i am making notes on it & revising from it. Do you have any other tips? please help. Thanks
