A level History (AQA option 1L and 2D)

Hey guys,

I have mocks in 4 weeks and I was wondering if this is enough time to make mind maps for history and revise the topics. Basically, as a class we've finished the first 5 chapters of Germany and the first 3 of religious change and I was wondering what the best way to structure and focus the mind maps would be, I really struggle with knowing content for both modules and I just wanna get an A this mock :') pls help. (also if you know anywhere where I can just straight up by them, PLEASE GIVE LINKS :smile:)))
Mindmaps are a process, buying them isn't going to help you - the process of creating them is what helps you to revise - not their existence at the end.

I don't teach AQA - are the exam questions usually about discreet sections of the Germany course or can the questions cover things from multiple chapters?

For the breadth study (option 1 Germany) they usually ask you a question about politics, economics, or social change/continuity over a time period, so it could be from weimar to early nazi, or during bismarck (this is the essay question) and for the extract question they ask you to analyse historian's views and draw conclusions on their reliability and credibility or something. For the Depth study (religious conflict) they can essentially ask you about a certain event or person, usually focusing on its cause/consequences and what it meant for religion.

So your mindmap can be about each theme within Germany, split different sections of the mindmap into the different periods in the unit and try to draw links and connections between them all
