Unit 1 was really good, I wrote 9 1/2 sides and my hand aches now 
I'm doing
- The Roaring 20s: USA, 1919-1929 (I'm ok with the content but I need to go over some dates and stuff)
- Hitler's Germany, 1929-1945 (probably my best out of the three)
- War in Vietnam, 1954-1975 (from the Tet Offensive onwards I am lost
)
In my textbook,Hitler's Germany only goes up to 1939, however on the spec it talks about opposition groups etc. So how much do we need to know about 1939-1945?

They updated the spec recently, it's likely they will reference the new content so we need to know it all really

I think we should recognise that specimen questions can also be in the actual paper. The ten mark in the specimen and the June 2015 paper for topic 3 were exactly the same.

Could you post past papers please and my teacher said on Hitler's Germany is very likely a 12 mark on "if Germans benefited from Nazi Rule" will come up. he got most of the predictions for first exam right so it might come up.

it was Truman lol
Truman Doctrine around at the time to 'contain' Communism
well that depends on the grade boundaries, as it seems like this was an easy paper so it could be 49/60 for A*

Yeah, I was annoyed by the General MacArthur question because I saw it on a past paper the other day but decided to go through a different 4 marker for origins of Cold War. So I only put a few points about him, forgot the US president in charge at the time so I just said that he was discharged and not by whom....Oh well, at least my worst question was a four marker.
