Hello! I currently study America, and was wondering if there are any topics that are worth spending extra time focusing on in terms of how often the key facts could be used in an essay, for example I find myself referring to economics quite a bit in other themes so have decided to learn that extra well. Thanks!

A lot of the essay questions can be broken down into social, economic, political factors.

I would also try to make sure you have a spread of information across the period, some 1920s information as well as New Deal (30s), WW2 (40s), then 50s, 60s, 70s. That way the questions that are posed for 1917-80 can be answered using a broad range of dates.

hi! i was having difficulty too on this section but the key to do well is to just remember all of the information of the Glorious Revolution as a 20 marker WILL come up for this. another tip is to watch mr gunn’s video (https://youtu.be/CfhbBbEIavQ?si=3QAS9Bxs71FGpgur) as this. using his structure made my mark go up to an 18/20 on section 3

For the economy its just important to remember how GB ended up after WW1, how they tried to fix it (Geddes Axe, back on gold standard etc), depression, national gov (Special Areas Act, recovery period), wartime gov, Post-war austerity + Nationalisation, Macmillan gov, Wilson gov, Heath gov, IMF loan/oil crisis

sadly it last came up 2020 and work relations has not come up since 2021 whereas political landscape has come 3x in the past 3 years so theme 1 (if it shows up) is most likely between economy/industrial relations. Theme 2 most likely to be maybe education or something specific to health. Theme 3 most likely immigration as women came up last year, could be class and social tho. Theme 4 maybe be Standards of living but idk.
