I too am taking the exam on the 8th and am doing the Russia questions, though honestly have no idea what the predictions are that's what I was trying to do when I came across this (your notes by the way are amazing, definitely will be using them to prepare for the exam). Also to prepare I find it best to do the introduction to past paper questions as it allows you to set up a structure and what information you are going to use.

We got given a sheet with all the past papers on, so I tried to see what hasn't come up in a while; I'm predicting something about workers/industrialization/economy will come up, maybe something about nature of gov (unrelated to turning points) e.g did Stalin change nature of gov the most? I really hope a war/turning point question won't come up since I haven't even had a chance to start revising them yet!!

I'm just going to do five minute plans for all of the questions, and then any that I'm stuck on I'll plan with a bit more time and then actually write the essay.
We also got given a sheet with all the themes you could potentially talk about for each set of questions; e.g themes for change and continuity, themes for opposition, themes for economic and social and themes for turning points. I've done a basic comparison between all the rulers for each theme so I can just pick and choose and use them for the basis of my paragraphs.

Thanks a lot!! how are you planned to structure your essay for this exam? For example in a change/continuity question, will you write all the similarity paragraphs first and then the differences' paragraphs, or write a paragraph on similarities and then differences and then similarities etc. (like chop and change)

I normally do for and against for each theme, e.g a paragraph on change within ideologies and then a paragraph on continuity within ideologies, and then I'd do the same thing for three more themes.

You could do change and contuinty in ideology, change and continuity in the economy, change and continuity in society and change and continuity in repression. It depends what themes you prefer/suit the question more.
