Got health and social on monday history on Wednesday any tips for either of these exams.

For history (I did WJEC), I made lists of dates, names, and figures and condensed them and then learnt them off by heart, the first two more than the figures sheet becaue I didn't have time. It helped so much! Try that...?

Gcse product design today 14th june 2013 anyonee Aqa?

I took the paper today ~ how did you find it? I thought it was really different from past papers, there were many things that I didn't expect to
come up and I really didn't like the batch production questions. How many marks do you think you got? :smile:

That isosceles triangle question got me really confused cause I thought an isosceles triangle had two similar sides, not all three :/

The same for me! I've never seen an isosceles triangle with three equal sides :/

I found the legal considerations for the school hard, but everything else was fine :smile:

I have 3 history exams in total, finished two already and got one left on War and transformation of British society 1931-51 (option 3B), each exam counts as 1/4 of the final mark, and the controlled assessments count as 1/4 too, so yeah, may be the boards do it separately, dont know:/

I don't know about that but they did do one in January 2013 and I wanted to find out which of the four topics came up as can only find past papers up until 2012.

Thanks anyway :smile:

Blimey that's a lot, I only had controlled assessment (one essay) that was 25%, and then two exams, one on international relations 1918-39 and Russia which was 45% and then one on Britain from 1890-1918 that was 30%. It would seem so :/
