I'd love an A but that's highly unlikely now as I've left it too late and there's so much content to learn and stuff so I guess I'm sort of aiming for a C now! The higher the better I guess though, you? :smile:

You could get a B, last year it was only 46/72 to get a B.

So if you got 8 marks on both the 12 mark questions and then 15 marks on the two 24 mark questions, you would get a B

Initially i was aiming for an A, but now i think that i will only be able to achieve a B.

How do you you structure you essays for the 12 mark and 24 mark questions?

For the twelve mark I do 3 factors in detail, maybe 4 if I can think of 4. I've never been told to do a conclusion by my teacher, he's always said not to but everyone online seems to do one so I don't know!
For the 24 mark I write about the factor in the question, then use 2, 3 maybe 4 other factors to write about, then conclude and answer the question essentially. If it's an agree or disagree I would agree with the view in the question, disagree, then evaluate/conclude; again answer the question! You? :smile:

12 mark Q:
make 3 detailed points and then do a conclusion

24 markQ
Introduction
Make 3 points for agreeing with the question and 3 points for disagreeing
If you cant think of 3 points then make sure to do 2 points for both sides to make it balanced
Finally conclude

Anyone else doing Britain 1483-1529 tomorrow? I'm feeling fairly confident, but do you guys think revising 2 out of the three topics is a good idea? I was thinking of focusing today and tomorrow on Edward/Richard/Early Henry and Henry VII's reign, but I'd like to hear your ideas first!

Hi guys
anyone doing his1n about totalitarian states? Or anything on Russia and nazi Germany? If so what you thinking the questions might be?

I have a feeling the leadership contest, cult or intolerance to diversity will come up for Russia. I would not be happy if collectivisation or if industrialisation and FYPs came up!

For Germany, perhaps Hitler's rise to power? Or intolerance to diversity.

I don't think ideology will come up, as last years paper was ideology heavy.

What do you guys think?

I did this exam last year and I don't think there has ever been more than one question (as in a 12 and a 24) on Henry VIII so I think that should be fine :smile:
