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

Yeah I wrote about glasnost and perestroika too, don’t worry you will defo get marks, at most depending on the examiner you may lose 1 mark.

Ah ok hopefully not too bad. Pray they just ignore the wrong date or don’t notice it 😂
Might have spelt glasnost wrong but their were no **** marks so should not drop a make because if that!

anyone else do the anglo saxon and norman england paper

Me, I did not like the 16 marker about Robert (I chose the other one)

yh me to i did:
P1-Edgar aetheling ofc
P2-Harold godwinson
P3-william of normandy
overall i argued that harold had the strongest claim as he was elected by the wittan who ultimately had the final say. william had a weak bloodline connection to the throne through emma of normandy and the claim that harold had sworn allegiance to him during his embassy may be true but he was held captive so had no other option.Edgar aetheling had a weaker claim than harold as he was in his teens so could not perform the duties of a king such as defending and protecting the kingdom.

I did the same but I said William was the strongest due to Harold's embassy, it was a pretty nice 16 marker

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

anyone else do the anglo saxon and norman england paper

Yes, that paper absolutely beautiful 😍

what was the 12 marker for this paper?

goofy accurate prediction

sighsssss

That was a GREAT paper (yay high grade boundaries smh)
Just my luck I spent the morning before revising Spanish Armada and why it failed. That 16 marker about Catholic resistance was really nasty though with the timeframe. I disagreed because, until the Papal Bull of Excommunication, Catholics didn't really oppose ALL THAT MUCH except refusing to go to Church and performing mass in the house with secret underground rooms which I mentioned in my agree statement.
Cold War was definitely harder but manageable. Hoping for a not impossible paper 3!

Why Norman's built castles

The Elizabeth 16 marker was kinda mid just me? I picked the Raleigh one, did anyone else? 😅

what did you write for anglo saxon government

1= Kings at the top of the hierchy, they were chosen by God
2= Peasants were towards the bottom of the hierchy (feudal system), they only worked for one lord

Yeah true, but I did kinda predict everyone, I’ve been ignoring other predictions ever since English Literature Paper 1 when AQA threw us an oddball that nobody predicted
