For those doing Britain for Section 1 and USA for section 2 I have made a table showing what has come up in the past years and following the pattern you may be able to tell what's coming but you never know, they may surprise us. The table does show that some q's have come up 2 years in a year so just cos it came up last year doesn't mean it won't come up this year.

My teachers confused me a bit so I just wanted to check.
I’m doing the British essays and the German essays.
Is it ok if say I write B2 and G2 in the exam or can I not write two of the same type?
As long as you answer one question from the British section and one question from the Germany section, there are no limitations in what ones you can choose.

Thank you so much! I was becoming worried that I’d have to learn more than 4 essays for each topic😂
Hi is anyone doing Russia for the European section?
If anyone is doing crusades I could use some help with my notes! My teacher is useless and there's very little resources online for higher students, none on BBC Bitesize or my textbook I spent so much money on smh

What essays are you doing? We’re doing women, liberal reasons, liberal evaluation and labour for Britain, and for USA we’re doing hostility, obstacles, CR reasons and CR evaluation.

Yep, we’re doing the same ones! Really hope that liberal evaluation and CR obstacles come up!! What about you?

Ye, I’m hoping Liberal evaluation, Labour come up as well as CR evaluation and reasons. Obstacles came up last year so it probs won’t come up this year.
Is anyone doing Britain and Germany for essays and Socttish empire for other questions?
also, does anyone know what the best way to revise for essays is? Do you memorize 4 essays from each topic then try to twist them to the question or is that too extreme and you just memorise the K and A

I memorise the whole essay and then change it slightly to match the question

Does any know have any examples of evaluation for the Britain or the USA essays? I have only ever got a mark for evaluation twice, I just can’t seem to do it!
I have some evaluation points for the British topics but the problem is you just can't memorize evaluation points because they are the one thing that completely change depending on the question.
