Churchill 10 marker was on Britain's military position after the dunkirk evacuations. Churchill 20 marker was on impact of Churchill's speeches on morale.
Britain questions were either: where Margaret Thatcher's social and economic policies successful OR to what extent did Britain establish itself as a major power in the world

How did you find it? The sources for me were a bit bizarre and for the 10 and 20 mark source questions, I couldn't really think of much own knowledge to use, and I didn't really understand the sources as thoroughly as I would be expected. However the two 20 markers were really nice. I did the Thatcher question.

I did thatcher also. I didn't mind the 20 marker (although you are right about the lack of own knowledge) but i hated source A and the 10 marker, everybody at my school HATED the churchill section.

The interpretation question should be fine as they can only really ask you two specific questions (Did Napoleon destroy or maintain the gains of the revolution or what were the origins of the revolution). As for everything else, I've just been learning all of the really important stuff and not the minor details as it is really difficult to learn everything. I've just been going through Napoleon, and now I'm going to do the terror and directory :biggrin:. The annoying this is, I have 3 other exams in the same week.
