thank god!!!

omg i had like half a page agreeing with the question
i put how the war cost 200 million pound, supported fact that 800 million national debt
said how the conservatives who won a landslide victory in khaki election (own knowledge haha) had to pay the debt off, meant that even if they wanted to they couldn't implement social change (****)
also said that i knew that taxes did increase throughout the war

then like 4 pages for agruing w question
put how source 5 mentioned the 'unhealthy' state of recruits, mentioned how 37% were rejected from army
then mentioned how it led to the medical inspections act 1907 (written about in source 6)
then mentioned the school meals act providing 150,000 meals
then mentioned the National Insurance act of 1911 that showed that even tho they had such a huge national debt, it didn't stop the govt from social change
then mentioned how in early 1900s old age pensions act was passed contrary to the view in source 4

conclusion
obvs boer war encouraged social reform

what did you write? felt i was repeating myself over and over haha

Hey, I did the same.. think you aced that question :] as for me, I got a C last year so I'm relying on that haha.. what did you write for the part A question?

People who did women's suffrage: what did you say about the provenances for the sources in the 20 mark essay? We all thought that there was nothing interesting in them as to whether a source was one-sided or not...

Guys what if i get A/B and something like D what do you think the average of both grades will be? Thankyou

hope we did haha, did you feel like you didn't have enough own knowledge tho, coz it was such a small part of what we've studied ahah.

for A, can't really remember tbh, i'm a bit worried because it was an easyish question so probably everyone wrote the same points

what did u write for A?

India was damn easy as far as I'm concerned.

I did the British Politics E1 paper and I basically didn't write a conclusion! I thought I had way more time, so I just wrote one side in favour of the question, one side against but didn't actually come to a conclusion. In other words, I DIDN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION. So angry with myself.

Do you think I'll lose loads of marks for not having a conclusion?

You'll get two A's! Don't stress or worry about it!

It will probably be a B grade!

I did India too and I'm not sure how it went personally, felt like I was repeating myself quite often in part A although I think part B went much better

The part B's were generous, how much did you write?

Did ghandi question and wrote around 4 and a bit pages which is quite a lot for me seen as my handwriting is tiny! How about you?

I feel like this too. I did the Gandhi question B and I felt like I focused mainly on the 1920-22 Civil disobedience campaigns, dont think i was diverse enough the question said 1919-1930, couldnt think of anything else that happened during then lol

I don't think so, as long as you include provenance In some form you should be able to get full marks still, I talked about the years for some and who wrote it for others, just depended on the source

I wrote 6 pages but I write quite fast, most people did around 4/5 for it, I did a bit over 3 for the part A.
