i just can't revise from my notes because they aren't readable and my teacher can't teach...
i was just wondering if there are any revision guides out there that people may have used in the past?

Get the official AQA ones, written by the examiners (possibly the chief examiner?). *I guess this is your exam board*. I did the module in January.

Mate what exam board are you doing? What sort of noted do you need? Your doing AS right? I'm doing 1855 - 1964 as an A2 unit but might be able to help

Get the Access to History book on Russia. It's really good. It's written for AQA and OCR AS exams and has example questions and everything

They're all the information you need and they set it all out the way they do in the specification.

Smiz,
any chance you can remember what topics were covered in the January exam? Trying to get a feel for what topics have been covered in previous exams.
So far appears to be breaking down into, three areas:
Alexander II Reforms (particularly serf emancipation)
1905 Revolution
Stability from 1905 to 1914
Influence of military failures on build up to 1917 revolutions
October Revolution 1917
Admittedly these are the major points of the course, but wondering if January threw anything different up, like economic development in the period 1881 - 1904??

All I can remember is something about the liberal opposition to Alex II up to 1881 and then about the Political opposition to Nicholas during WWI and then there was a question about Stolypin (but I didn't do that one)

Thanks Sophie. That does sound like a bit of a curve ball!
Are you doing your A2 this June? What Unit 3 are you doing? I'm doing Stability and War: British Monarchy and State, 1714–1770.

Im currently doing A2 Russia and it's Rulers 1855-1964 
My teacher sucked too, I have enough notes to work from but I just don't remember anything he taught us
Our exam question, we've been told, are split into 4 different section:
Russian Rulers, differences of domestic policies
The nature of government, everything involving
The impact of dictorial regimes on economy and society, changes
Impact of war and revolutions on government.
Im struggling with getting the info in my head. I officially hate Russia

Hi PaddyD15
What grade do you get for AS? I need an A to get into my uni I think and my teacher is awful! I'm doing AS at the money, could you help? I'm panicking a bit, we haven't even started the revolution yet
