Edexcel GCSE HISTORY PAPER 2 (1HI0 2A-2W) - 4th JUNE [Exam Chat]

Hihii just wanted to ask. Question about Elizabethan
Basically I chose 16 marker of Catholic challenge being a greater threat to settlement But it said within the maximum 1568 but I mentioned slightly the revolt of northern earls and there beginning to be a rise of challenge trying to restore Catholicism, it was only a small part of my argument, will I get penalised for it ? ( as it was slightly out of the time period )

Will I loose a mark for saying Brezhnev ‘s ultimatum instead of doctrine?

I would revise EVERYTHING, but a few main things here to guide your revision:
- Spanish Armada, 1588 (causes and reasons for failure)
- education and leisure change and continuity (maybe if you want some golden nuggets of knowledge)
- Mary Queen of Scots
- Puritan/Catholic challenge to Elizabeth and the Catholic plots (revolt of the northern earls, ridolfi, throckmorton and babbington)
- challenges facing Elizabeth on the throne in 1558 (marriage, legitimacy, religion)

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

Prague spring - consequences
End of Cold War - narrative account
Yalta - importance
Berlin ultimatum - importance
Not sure last importance one sorry

Yh, it was explain why Wolsey became King Henry VIII's most important minister by 1519

they'll just imagine any sentence you used that in didn't exist but they don't mark too harshly, positive marking only!

Thank you! Do you remember what you wrote?

my points were:
-Wolsey's successful foreign policies e.g. Treaty of London 1518, Treaty of Bruges 1521
-Wolsey achieved military victories e.g. Battle of spurs 1513 - captures Therouanne and Tournai
-Wolsey's skills, experience and important roles e.g. getting degree at age 15, college's treasurer, papal legate in 1518.

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

I did the Berlin Wall fell in 1990 not 1989 will I still get marks

Yeah it depends on what you wrote

What if I said ultimatum but I described the doctrine in one sentence

It was to do with the narrative account and end of the cold wall and I said that the policies of glasnost and perestroika made the people of Berlin have a taste of new found freedom of the suppression they felt under communism and so called Gorbachev to pull down the Berlin Wall which fell in 1990 but should have written 1989!
