They're my teachers but I also predicted them too. Let's hope the SQA picked them too!

They are quite realistic to be honest, I would seriously be over the moon if the SQA picked them for the exam! :biggrin:

My greatest fear is that both of the Nazi essays will come up and the obstacles to German unification as I'm not confident with these :s-smilie:

I really hope your teacher is right about the womens and nazi rise because they're basically the only ones I've done. I'm scared the SQA will try to catch people out because they know that everyone thinks thats what will come up :confused:

I know and the fact that nothing is hard evidence and it's all from secondary sources doesn't help either. The phrase "it is thought" is required for much of it.. Good luck tomorrow :smile:

Yeah, they are! :smile:

I can't do growth of nationalism at all :frown:

I can only do issues 3, 5 and 6

It wouldn't surprise me considering the cruel acts the SQA have committed in the past haha. If there isn't a nazi question I genuinely will have to get up and leave because I couldn't even write an intro on nationalism :dong:

So you're the exact opposite of me haha! I love growth of nationalism and unification - they're basically the same. I could maybe try hard and do issue 6 but that would probably only get me 10 marks (that's what I got for my NAB haha, bearing in mind that we did this topic in a hurry as we only had one week left - just to give us more choices).

So will I! I'm going to try and do both nazis, growth of nationalism and obstacles to unification to be safe. As for Britain, if women or labour fails to make an appearance I'll cry!

Reply 393

To everyone who can only do rise of the Nazis for Germany: If it doesn't come up, I will get up and leave the exam with a tear in my eye thinking of all of us.

Yeah, I believe the SQA have received a lot of criticism from teachers for past History papers, such as 2012, so hopefully they will be unlikely to try and cause more controversy, especially on the sad swansong for the old Higher.

Same with women! I don't have the strength to revise any more essays. Having completely blown maths and english in the space of a few days I'm feeling drained and not bothered anymore.

Yeah, only if you wrote a decent extended essay - like if you got 28 or something and of course at least 17-18 for the first essay, with a decent pass in paper 2 you could maybe pull your grade up to a B (I think anyways)
