AQA A Level History Paper 2 (options A to T) 7042/2O - 10 Jun 2022 [Exam Chat]

What do people think the section A question is gonna be based on the advanced information?

I think the source will be Jewish policy as they e left so much of that on. Like for the Tudor paper today, they left loads of Henry VII on and that was the extract so I’m guessing that will be it for the Germany too.

I was thinking Stresseman Foreign Policy and International position would be Section A?

Idk I don’t feel like it’s a big enough topic for it now but then earlier on that was my second guess!

I think they can ask a 25 marker on any one of the bullet points tbh, there would be enough to talk about e.g. there could be a question on 'Hitler's policies were consistent towards the Jews in the years 1941-1945'. That question only covers one bullet point so make sure you have revised them all in depth just in case!

Does anyone know what questions came up in the 2021 paper?

I doubt this, because then the other anti-semitism bullet points would have to link into another question, otherwise they would have had to been struck off in advance info. I guess a broader Volksgemeinschaft could incorporate earlier antisemitism and social policy, but in that case knowing the anti-semitic elements still doesn't seem crucial for full marks. It is possible, but I am fairly sure it will be a broader antisemitism one.

I want to know too!

They wouldn’t have necessarily have been struck off the advanced info. They can’t ask questions on everything on the advanced info though it’s impossible. I see what you’re saying and I agree about the anti semitism points on the advanced info but the question I posted above was similar to one that was asked in a past paper. The anti semitism one is just an example. They’ve left the Weimar constitution on so it’s possible there’s a question just on the constitution. They’ve also said students can gain full credit just writing about what’s on the advanced info.

What does PRSOM mean lol

It is possible to have a question on just one element of a bullet point (e.g. just the constitution, but not the context for the establishment of the republic) but not possible for an entire bullet point to be left off (e.g. something must be about 1924-8 foreign policy). They aren't allowed to leave things on the information for the sake of it.

So they definitely can and will ask questions on every bullet point on the advance info - notice this is slightly different to asking on everything mentioned as part of those bullet points. You seem to be conflating these two cases. E.g. Paper 1?

I am almost sure it will be and antisemitism 1933-45, 1924-8 foreign policy, early weimar political issues (e.g. constitution caused more issues than threat from the right), and something to do with the degree of totalitarianism/opposition/Volksgemeinschaft (that last one is more vague but you can see the type of thing I'm getting at) - a question on each of those topics easily covers all of teh

I see your point. Looking at the advanced info for tudors, which was my paper 1, they did completely leave off some bullet points like Elizabeth and society but this was one of the only ones that you would not be able to talk about in your answer. In the 4 questions asked you could more or less mention info from other bullet points not directly mentioned in the q. I get what you're saying in having to link more than one bullet point into your answer. Thanks for explaining.
