Predict the Tudor exam paper for tommorow!

Even the confident people are worried and I am usually one of them also, bar a few I don't think anyone is that happy going into the exam. But I think the questions will be wider than we think and actually okay.

.. hopefully :')

A joy of an exam! Source a bit dodgy but the HVII Q was nice and I spoke about ministers of HVIII coming up here so it was goo. Hope everyone did all right, I could not have done the Liz Q but only bc I did not revise that great compared to the rest. I think it was pretty open and nice if you went over that - I think I spoke about that kinda Q coming up too.

Does it matter for which extract you say is convincing because some people that I spoke to said they found Extract B was convincing but I said Extract A and C was but I said the opposite for Extract B?

For the sources I spoke about how the other sources distorted the term "crisis", and argued that source B was most convincing. I absolutely destroyed source C. Source A argued against. I'm regretting not doing the Elizabeth question. For government what did you put? I didn't manage my time very well and only had like 2 big ish paragraphs for Wolsey and Cromwell. For Wolsey I spoke about how he centralized power around himself, 19 members of the privy council. Put in the Amicable grant 1525 for some reason...I don't know why I did that. For Cromwell I spoke about how he set up the Court of Wards, First fruits and tenths and court of General Surveyors to deal with monastic lands. Said he contributed to Act of Supremacy. I felt that question went badly :/

Do you know when we get the mark scheme? Also, if I fail 1 25 mark question but do well on the others including the other exam, could that mean it still might average out as a B? I got a B in my coursework..

I wrote exactly the same as you! Even the Amicable Grant! Can we just discuss how my source question prediction was correct :')
Well done to everyone!

56/80 is a B
60/80 is an A

The entire course including coursework is scored out of 200. So, my next history exam covers the Cold War, if I was to score 70/80 on that and 50/80 on the Tudor paper and because I scored 30/40 on my coursework, that'd be 150/200 which I'm sure would be an A? However, it is very possible to redeem your grade through coursework and the next paper.

It's all about your interpretation remember if you can back it up it's fine there is no wrong answer. I argued that A was the most convincing and C was the least

Like Chichaldo said, only 10% of the content learned is applied to the essay titles, particularly with the Tudor source question, which is aggravating. However, because the Mid-Tudor Crisis hasn't appeared on any specimen materials, it wouldn't surprise me if it came up tomorrow. What do you think?

You were right hehe

Honestly does not matter at all so long as you back your view with points. I mean they were really a mixed bag, you could say there was a crisis and say A was most convincing or if you believe there wasn't you can say B was the most convincing, if you think there was in some aspects but not overall to a great extent then C provided a moderate view. Each had merits and drawbacks.

I did two paragraphs on Wolsey, the first being about the Eltham Ordinances and the second about some of his legal reforms (not sure if that was entirely relevant but it is kinda state justice isn't it). Then I just kind of spun the 'revolution in government' arguments for Cromwell. King 'in' Parliament, still bending to his will, Government not really independent without the King, King had to use gov for the legislate the legal reformation though (1534 Acts of Supremacy, Treason Act, Act in Restraint of Appeals, stopping annates to Rome), the specialisations like the Court of Augmentations (monastic land bar dollars) and First Fruits and Tenths (clerical taxes), but they were absorbed under later monarchs so not fundamental change, HVII also had specialised depts like Council Learned in Law so nothing spectacular, spoke of Cromwell's Secretary position, how he had clerks on his opposition and didn't audit himself and made roles like Keeper of the Jewels so his reforms were also just for personal gain and to diminish opposition, not really changing government, it was also just a reactive method, Augmentations and First Fruits and Tenths weren't really planned, just made to deal with the income from the reformation, were not long term sources of income and thus would not always be needed.

I am sure not all of that was good but I think it went okay. I didn't talk about the Amicable Grant but I suppose it shows that Parliament didn't really change as it was still predominantly used for taxation.

If you failed (like below 10) then you would have to do very well in the rest to average a B, but I doubt it was like that and I am sure you will average a B with that coursework already in the bank. Also if you felt the other essay and source was okay.
