Actually I think last year paper was quite good except the housing question. I'm actually hoping something from 1939-51 or 1951-64 going to come up in this year exam paper just not the 1918-39 as this time period is just the worst for me.

What grade are you aiming to get?

Hi I'm upto the National government in terms of revision notes! I think something on living standards and mass communications could come up as surprise question?

Yeah actually I think living standards are likely to come up but I'm not sure about mass communication hm. Maybe something on EEC

We did a mass communications essay in class (well planned ) it's something that's never come up but hopefully it doesn't!:smile:

I hope not the end of the course at my sixth form seemed so rushed (so we could have more revision time) so from 1951 I'm not so confident on!


How are you finding revision? Where are you upto and what are you doing?:smile:

Really? We haven't done much on communications. Maybe you what to share that communications essay question and structure? :smile:

Yes, we rushed a little bit too but personally I like that time period from 1951 so it's not a problem for me if it came up.

Well, revision hm its okay such I found so many ways to procrastinate so i don't get done much. So far I revised Baldwin and the General Strike as well as some of Baldwin's government policies and problems. Also, Second Labour goverment. And so much left to learn!

What about you? How's revision?

Sure I'll dig out at some point and post it on here it's just a quick plan!


Me too! I'm having off from revision and just chilling. I'm still at the start of the national government , there's so much to learn!

Oh btw talking of books I'm using the AQA AS book that covers the course till 1951 and after I'll be using class notes.

Hi does anyone understand what is needed for the historical debate? My teacher tells us to put some historians think and others think....

Iike do we need to know specific historians' names? If so does anyone know any? :smile:
