Official cie igcse 2017 may/june thread + predictions

Same!! It was like the text didn't go with the question! The first question was really hard

i hate parrots now. q2 brought tears to my eyes. NO LITERARY TECHNIQUES!

Only one I could find was that quote using alliteration about magicians

Well for CIE history on Friday you're guaranteed 4/6/10s on the LoN and the road to WW2 if that's any use?

Hey, so we've pretty much predicted the topics for the first sets of questions in history. What about the depth study sets? What could the two sets be for WW1?

Which depth study are you specifically doing?
I am doing Germany.
In Germany there are 2 main sections: Weimar and Nazi Germany.
80% of the times there is 1 question from weimar and 1 from nazi. A couple times BOTH were Nazi but never 2 questions from weimar.

If you do any other depth study, all carefully at the syllabus of the depth study and check where there are any 'splits' in the content - like in Germany there is pre Hitler Era and a section dealing with Hitler.

As far as me and Germany, Im only studying Nazi Germany. As I said, i am pretty much garanteed a nazi question.

Let me know if you need any help

yeah I have CIE english language and CIE history tomorrow. For History I'm pretty sure League will turn up, but that's just my guess. I have a feeling cold war might come up cos I haven't seen that in any recent past papers. Hoping that there is hitler's territorial gains in the 30s though, maybe vietnam too

go in straight with the analysis
Dont do PEE
DO QME
quote meaning effect

What did you guys say for the third bullet point on the first question?

How did everyone do???? I had paper 21 about parrots and i found it very hard to be honest

which topics are the easiest to study for history?
which websites did you use for online learning/research?
which books did you use?

this sounds interesting. never heard of it before. could you explain further? thanks.

Did beryl actually come back or was it a flashback?

Grade boundaries will probably be low since it was hard

Anyone about to sit History? Cambridge.

I talked about the alliteration of morphing magicians and its contrast with the sibilance in "softly, carefully stroking, smoothly" swell as the "excruciating" stickers and the hyperbole
