Okay thanks. I answered for norman government 😫 idk how i read it so wrong


Don’t worry about it too much! You’ll probably get a mark or so and it’s only 4 overall if you don’t get any at all. Plus their is always paper 3! You’ve got this x
I thought that the Cold War was brilliant, really liked it. Elizabeth 4 marker about education was fine. I would’ve liked a different 12 marker but I made the most of what I had, and then I did the 1st 16 marker and said that the view was true to a limited extent, then talked about the Puritan crucifix controversy and the vestments in 1565, about how the major Catholic challenges to the religious settlement and her reign came later (after 1568), when MQS came. I also mentioned about how the catholics did not like the royal injunctions (with the book of common prayer) and about how they were one United unit, unlike the puritans who were seperated into the separatists and the Presbyterians.
I’m really hoping for a 9, I’ve worked so hard, so we will see in August. Got to focus on Weimar and Nazi Germany now.
Hi does anyone remember the question about wolsey in Henry VIII and his ministers? it was something about 1519
Does it matter if I have done some spelling mistakes in the Cold War narrative account and Anglo Saxon 12 marker?!

No, you don’t get SPAG marks, as long as it looks roughly right and they can understand it

I wrote about Khruschev rather than Brezhnev, will I lose marks?
Hi All

Anyone know what the Questions were for Elizabeth, my predictions for CW were actually quite accurate!

history is marked positively so you don't lose marks for mistakes, you just gain marks for the content thats correct + analysis so I wouldn't stress about it

Prague Spring
Cuban Missile Crisis
Conferences (Tehran, Yalta, Potsdam)
Hungarian Uprising
International reaction to Hungary and Czechoslovakia events
Berlin Ultimatum (leading up to the creation of the Berlin Wall)
There’s so much that might come up. So revise everything to be sure. Other than what came up last year if you want to take that risk.

goofy accurate prediction
How did u guys find the paper? I did P4 and B4
Original post by Nrrksssgucfb
Prague spring - consequences
End of Cold War - narrative account
Yalta - importance
Berlin ultimatum - importance
Not sure last importance one sorry

Salt 1 was the last importance question

Hi All

2 aspects of education
explain why spanish armada was defeated
1st option catholic main opposition to religious settlement
2nd option poor planning main reason for failure of first colony
Original post by m0thman_
I think it's likely that prague spring and spanish armada will come up (hopefully)


Damnn you were so accurate-
