I did topics, 2,3,4 WTF were they on about in the topic 3, 4 marker i just guessed it really confused and threw me off i got all mixed up I'm confident that I at least passed though and that's all I need
I did the last three topics - I thought the exam was pretty good! I'm mainly dreading unit 2. I went blank during the 'how did America maintain democracy' question. I talked vaguely about Kosovo and Kuwait - is that right?

That's what I did because we hadn't learnt about anything else after the Cold War. I didn't think it was particularly about democracy, so I'm not sure.
I hated the Czechoslovakia/Afghanistan question How did everyone find it?

I thought the last two 4 markers - Helsinki especially - were pretty difficult. I knew by pure chance was Helsinki was about, and for the USA and democracy question I wrote about the expansion of NATO and Kosovo, both in a little bit of detail.
Everyone seems to dislike topic 6 but I actually really like it. All the 10 markers were my dream questions (sorry Flammae) and the 6 markers were pretty good. I don't actually think the Catholic Church was the main reason for the success of underground Solidarity but that was easiest to write about, and the CMC and Salami Tactics ones were alright. The Czechoslovakia/Afghanistan was really nice for me, as was the UN in Korea/Soviets in Hungary one. When I turned onto the last page and saw Gorbachev/Reagan, I was pretty much made up.
Would anyone doing the race relations topic in Paper 2 be able to help me in terms of how to prepare for 8 mark questions? I was planning on simply learning the textbook, but most of the questions seem to be "Explain why..." questions, which the textbook is not great for. Thanks in advance!

If it says 'explain why the freedom rides were important for achieving civil rights' or something like that then you should do 2 paragraphs explaining the event and then link it back to the question saying why it was important, having a different point in each paragraph. Hope this helps!
First paper I did question 4,5,6 and for the second paper I am doing 1, 4, 8. Anyone have any resources that may help with the following topics: Topic 1 From Tsardom to Communism: Russia, 1914–1924 Topic 4 Stalin’s Dictatorship: USSR, 1924–1941 Topic 8 War in Vietnam, 1954–1975

Anyone doing Topic 10: The Middle East on Paper 2? Just out of interest, as it seems that no one I've spoken to does it, apart from those at our school!
Hi Coincidentally I am doing exactly the same topics as you! Do you have any predictions as to what might come up? Good luck with your revision xx
I'm doing those same topics as well and I looked up what came up on last year's paper - here are the topics:
War Communism Difficulties faced by Provisional Government Influence of Rasputin on the Tsar and Tsarina Power struggle following Lenin's death Purges and consolidation of Stalin's power USA involvement in Vietnam 1954-1960 Tet Offensive and impacts of it on the US public
So I'd say these are less likely to come up. My History teacher thinks that collectivisation and the Five-Year Plans will come up though.

Yes I am. I must admit that it is a very unpopular choice.

Ah OK thanks you so much Good luck for tomorrow xx

I'm doing the same topics as you How are you revising? I find Unit 2 so much harder than Unit 1!
