National 5 History - This Friday.

Announcements
How's everyone feeling about this? Must say I'm pretty confident myself in terms of coursework knowledge. Nerves could however be a problem as this is my first exam and I suppose it's natural to be slightly apprehensive.
My courses are the Atlantic Slave Trade, Appeasement and Migration and Empire.
Anyhoo, work hard Wednesday-Thursday and good luck team!

This is also my first exam ever, good luck you also. I'm pretty confident too, just hope I don't need to remember dates.
How did you do in your prelim and course assignment?

I'm not sure as to how I did in the course assignment. I felt afterwards that I bit off more than I could chew and would have been better off studying a simpler topic. I got a really strong A in my prelim, so hopefully I can replicate that on Friday. How about yourself?

Best of luck! I had my first exam yesterday, and I did feel sick-ish because of the exam, but as soon as I got in it was fine.
For History I'm studying era of the Great War, slave trade and Hitler&Nazi Germany. Is it just me, or does it seem like there's not much that can be asked on slave trade, as a typical Describe or Explain question?

Out of yours I only do era of the great war. Do you think they'll ask many questions on women and the politics stuff, i don't really get it :/

All we can be really asked about in-depth are things like describing/explaining:
-Impact of the Great War on political life (talking about rent strikes, DORA, etc)
-Impact of DORA on Scots
-Reasons why DORA was unpopular
-Events of Red Clydeside
And all the suffrage stuff, reasons why:
-Suffrage campaigns failed
-Suffrage campaigns could be considered a success
-Suffragette campaigns harmed votes for women
Those are all the questions I can think of, to study I just make up questions I could be asked and try and answer them.
Good luck!

I think something on politics will come up, seeing as the politics section wasn't present last year.

Hi, I'm also doing the history exam tomorrow, my topics are The Wars of Independence, Changing Britain and Free at last. I was wondering if anyone else was doing any of these topics as I wanted to know what you guys thought would come up. I have no idea about any of them apart from Changing Britain where I think that Democracy and Radicals might come up?

I'm doing change in Britain too, and our teacher said that political reform (so the 1832 and 1867 reform acts etc, and the radicals and chartists) would most likely come up ad it wasn't in last years paper!

Well done everyone!! What did you all think of the paper? I thought it would have been much harder due to the difficulty of the graphics exam, but for my topics, the questions were very easy. Some, eg Describe the stages of the Triangular Trade were a little weird, but nothing too hard.

Well done to everyone in surviving the day. I think I made a mess of the Migration and Empire context, however hopefully I did enough in the assignment and the other two topics to secure an A.
