Thanks!

It was really hard and took a lot of effort, but I managed to get my A* nonetheless :smile:

That's good. Glad you got the mark you aimed for!

Hope I do ok in mine too.... In the spring term though so let's not think about it.... :frown:

Has anyone done the History Controlled Assessment yet? If yes, how did you do? Got mine today and really worried :/

Hey, I'm on WJEC so I do two pieces of source analysis, first part I have done and got my mark back and have just finished second part:

- the blitz; sources which agree/disagree with the view that the evacuation was good/bad (/16)
- dunkirk; sources that agree/disagree with the view that the evacuation of Dunkirk was a triumph (/24 I think)

I enjoyed the coursework, and its 25% of my final grade, what's yours about? :smile:

I'm on AQA and we have to analyse four sources about recruitment for the first question and analyse sources about women in the war for the second question. Had my first lesson today and I'm really stressing out because I don't if it's good enough to get an A*! Really want to do well :wink:

what mark did you get, if you don't mind?

To be honest, I really like the WJEC course and I think, looking at other boards, its fairly straightforward :biggrin:

We had a really good teacher (she is like 90 and has been teaching history GCSE for like 70 Years :mmm:

) so she was really good at guiding us through it! I got the full 16/16 in the first bit and will be getting the second bit next week I think :smile:

Eh, Maths exams are great when you can do them. I'm doing the FSMQ this year which is going reasonably well so far. :smile:

Are you thinking of doing Maths next year?

Good luck, I'm sure you'll do great!
