Personly I would say having an overview is the best for the exam so read the text book from start to finish then after knowing what happens and why.. then try and learn and remember factual contex (% and numbers ect but mainly just round them up so instead of trying to remember 4,946,643 votes just say 5million) our teacher said the marker gets around10p per paper they mark and they have to mark hundreds so just keep that in mind they don't remember everything and arn't going to not give you a mark for not getting the exact number


Yeah reading the textbook is key! however, it has lots of useless knowledge in it. I found a condensed version on Get Revising that is only about 60 pages :smile:
It scares me when people said the started revision at christmas/easter I started about 2 weeks ago.. Just so unorganised regret it now though!
This history exam is taking up most of my time now though it feels like after tuesday I have no more exams and can relax haha even though I've got maths, re and biology.. Oh dear :frown:
Oh thanks I give that website a go!

We've only done the first 2 parts. Haven't covered the new deal so we don't get a choice of what question to do.


Have you done WW2?

Is your teacher sure that the first 2 questions will always be the same periods?
I think that the Fall and Rise of the KKK (12)
How immigration was not the only cause for the economic boom (24)

and maybe

How Hoover was the main cause for the Great Depression might come up (24)


I did the Jan 2013 paper and the questions were:

1a) span american war (12)
b) TR's ploices (24)

2a)Volstead Act (12)
b) Organised Crime (24)

3a) New Deal (12)
b) Second New Deal (24)
Our teacher said yeah the questions follow a time period. sometimes they overlap but hey ho hopefully not in our exam

I mean like the previous question 1; why harding was elected in 1920 it overlaps as its in section 2 of the aqa revision book. As normally the question 1 is in regards to section 1 in the book. But to your quote no you're right however the repeal of the 18th amemdment did mean government got tax from alcohol, money in government funding to go towards for example the FHA.. So yes yes I can see it
