As far as I'm aware (I asked my teacher 
) it isn't there because there wasn't one! Something to do with it being a new spec, don't remember exactly but yeah I don't think there was a January exam.

There is A LOT to remember, but then again it's only one exam... I'd be interested to compare the amount of content in this year to both of last years.
I'm making more concise versions of all my notes, then when I'm done I plan to make them even more concise and into mind-maps. After that I'm going to do as many 45 mark questions in 45 minutes as I can force myself to, so it's just like lots of exam practice

yeah i wish there were more exam questions to go on, weve just got made up ones....
and i know!! it seems such a waste learning so much when we literally will only pick 4 main points for 2 questions :/ maybe thats why ther is SO much, to kindve allow for a variety of options with answers...
also how much do you include historians views in yours?

My teach has put quite a lot of emphasis on historiography, mainly because it's an important thing if you want to be hitting the top grades. I'd include a section on an historian or a the views of a particular school of thought in my argument and either use it as backing or overcome it to further reinforce my argument.
We've got quite a lot of little 'snippets' of historians ideas, but the only main arguments we've learnt are the Good Duke vs Bad Duke, Somerset/Northumberland thing, a little bit about Mary's marriage to Philip II. Annndddd ideas debating what influenced Elizabeth's Religious Settlement, compared to what she actually wanted.

yeah we've got similar stuff, although i usually make up which historian says which when i use snippets...and ive read chunks of a few historian books....
in terms of putting them in, we've kindve been told to structure our answers yes, no, yes no etc, so i think ill just try and put in a couple in each paragraph or have it to start my paragraph....aaahhh theres too much :/ what grade do you need out of interest?
im having trouble at the moment sorting ut the differnce between council, parliament and court etc, because i always muddle them up in my answers when theyre separate....any advice?

firstly, was the earl of westmorland and the 2nd northumberland, an MP? i know they were catholic, but were they still in parliament?
and also, did elizabeth have catholics in her privy council? and if so who?
thanks

i got that elizabeth kept many of mary's councillors in her privy council in the hope of them keeping crown loyalty - which they did
mary's lord treasurer was the marquis of winchester, who died in 1571 and cecil/burghley succeeded him - that's the only example i've got
also, do you know what you could use ireland as an example of? a threat to internal security? or just foreign policy?

hello, this is a desperate plea to everyone on the post,
my teacher failed to teach us anything about foreign policy at all..so i've been learning that from scratch for a while, but anyway, she also failed to make up any exam questions to practise with, so i've literally had 5 all year to try and do..
please could anyone post some questions that their teachers made up? i couldn't thank you enough, i desperately want to get into uni, like a lot of you, and i find that practise questions are one of the best ways of learning in history!

ive left a lot of mine at home, but i have a few here so i'll post more later...
to what extent was the duke of somerset brought down by the rebellions of 1549?
to what extent was Elizabeth's stability under threat from those who rejected her religious settlement?
to what extent did the puritans/catholics (delete as applicable) pose a serious threat to Elizabeths stability?
explain the factors that shaped the religious settlement reached in 1559
By 1558 Mary had successfully restored the Catholic church in England. to what extent do you agree with this statement?
if you want i have a lot of word documents which are detailed but clear notes on a lot of topics such as foreign policy??
