Ooh, Mussolini! I would've loved to study him. I find Dictatorship so interesting. I studied Nazi Germany at GCSE and absolutely loved it!
My current school's sixth form do Stalin's Dictatorship at A2 and I'm so jealous!
I'm going to check out more of the content of the reformation and C16 Church, and try out the homework we got given (who gives out summer homework to prospective students?) to see how I like it.
Oh wow
that sounds scary, but it's reassuring to hear that you did well! Makes it sound doable.
Good luck with your A2 results!
I found the IGCSE English Lit exam quite easy (considering the little amount of preparation my school provided us), and the GCSE History exam so-so (due to my lack of revision for Paper 2
), so if GCSEs are any indication, I think I might be able to fare better with the Lit exams more so than the History exams at A Level.
I don't think I'd carry English Lit onto A2 (same with History). The exam is closed book, isn't it? That sounds too much for me.
What's the coursework for History like? History coursework was a huge problem for me at GCSE. Although I did well in them, they were so time-consuming!
Had to stay behind after school many times to complete them!
