Religion is the worst and seeing as it didn't come up last year strong likelihood of it

Same :rofl:
How did you find it?
I picked the Interregnum question for Section A: wasn't too bad but struggled to find many religious issues that caused division apart from the radicalism of the New Model Army, and religious radicalism in the Nominated Assembly. My argument was heavily weighted against this being the main cause of divisions as I mentioned the conservative nature of Parliaments and the role of the Army as being more significant.
Section B: I chose the question on the status of women which I felt was my best essay as I had a few bits of obscure evidence and I talked about the temporal change in status of women peaking in the Civil War and 1650s rather than being a long term change.
Section C: Was a bit short for time for this and annoyingly it was about the Toleration Act which was the element of the Glorious Revolution that had the least detail. I mainly talked about the Toleration Act not being that significant as Acts like the Test Act and Act of Uniformity had not been repealed and were still enshrined in law, as well as the fact that Catholics still didn't gain toleration until much later( 20th Century). Found it difficult to analyse the extracts as they both sort of mentioned the same points.
Hopefully, the questions for Russia in Revolution will be kinder.

It was okay the questions were not to bad, although picking evidence was difficult timing was an issue really wanted to read over my essays but didn’t have any time to :redface:
I did Charles I and women as well :five:
Hope it went well feel as tho I could have mentioned more but oh well have 2 more papers to pick my grade up. Overall it was okay just timing got me finished all but wanted to look over and mention more points :smile:

Ya that glorious revolution question was terrible. The question was supposed to be how revolutinary was the Glorious Revolution not lets focus on one insignificant Act!

On the plus side I think a lot of people will have struggled with Section C so it may affect the grade boundaries slightly in our favor, not sure though...
