what were the questions for section A and B? I answered the politics question but i've actually forgotten what the other question was :s-smilie:

I found politics to be alright, it was a similar past paper question i think so it wasn't too bad, Hope the grade boundaries will be low, i think most people found it OK but they were difficult

Section A was Wales and England in Transition and then Foreign Policy i think. What do you think you got?

ye which is like 65% but then they convert that into UMS depending on how everyone is Wales did so it could be higher or lower than that but its around that mark, how did you answer that wales and England topic qs?

oh wow that's pretty low. I think i did well in them. I spent too long on them though which left me with less time on politics but i yeah they were pretty solid i think. How were you before going in the exam? like grading/past papers wise!

well i was smashing all the revision questions and a few past paper qs with the school and that but i found the qs a bit weird, i was quite confident though but seriously ran out of time, i was hitting like B's and A's in other past paper qs but needed to organise time managment, how about you? How much did you write for each question?

Ah well if you were hitting that and the boundaries are quite low why wouldn't you get an A!? I was about the same, High B's and Low A's. Um, it varied. I did 2 pages for the first A question, about 2 and half for the B, and then a page for the next A (cos of time) and only a page and half for the B. i seriously just crammed it, with facts and relating it to the question so no idea how well i did overall :frown:

Hey guys! I'm in year eleven... I was up till ten last night trying to learn the content! (self taught ish) and look at model answers... Talk about last minute...

I answered questions 1+2!

Transition in Wales and foreign policy?

There was so much to write with foreign policy and so I had to cut down a lot...

I only wrote a little bit though :/

Some people I knew finished the booklet! How?!

Also, how are everyone's HY2 results? I sat that last year and did Nazi Germany!

Yeah, I know... I did:

Why were social reforms introduced? (24)

Was WWI the main influence on lives of people in Britain?(36)

And foreign policy was appeasement for 24 marks and fear of Germany for 36.
