SQA Higher History (British, European and World History) - 9th May 2025

does anyone know how you're meant to go about doing evaluation because I know it's about like weighing up the importance of the factor overall but every time I tried that my teacher just said to make it "better" which isn't helpful tbh anyways does anyone have any tips

Hiya guys, I’m currently revising the Germany part of higher history and I’m struggling omg . I’ve got the nazi essays in the bag but unification just isn’t sticking. Does anyone have any model answers or tips and tricks?? Also what’s everyone’s opinions on evaluation??

I know I HATE the cold war topic, i'm trying to revise it now but like its sooo complicated.

Is anyone actually learning all of the essays? I know that’s what your meant to do but some i just dont see coming up like labour reforms for example

to gain an evaluation point you need to evaluate + make reference to a historians view or a new knowledge point. these are the hardest points to gain so would focus on hitting all other marks first.

I add in one piece of extra knowledge to support my decision (either on importance or effectiveness) and then I compare to the most important factor if it's that type of essay. I've been getting 22 mark essays but I think my teacher is really lenient

I feel sooo stressed out, I as I feel I don't understand/won't remember much information for the Cold War, this is also because I got 0/22 on the cold war prelim essay. But I did get 17/22 on the Votes for women essay in the prelim so if I add evaluation points I could get 22/22, hopefully. How likley is the votes for women essay going to come up in the exam, do you think?

my teacher told us it wasn't very likely to come up but she doesnt know anything and the sqa pretty much do whatever they want so basically who knows

You mean votes for women? It hasn't came up since 2023, so its possible, my teacher thinks its very likely to come up 😂

Yea votes for women issue 3, I wouldn’t really take any predictions seriously though because as i said the Sqa literally do whatever they want.

I know yeah, because I do psychology as well, and we all thought the diathesis-stress model won't come up but it did. I really want votes for womne to come up though as I'm really good at it, i'm going to revise some of the others like labour and liberal reforms. Has your class done issue 1 of the britain stuff, we skipped over it

Oh no that means I’m going to have to learn seven essays by Friday, i do Germany for European world so I don’t have USA but maybe that’s a good thing if you think they are similar. I’ve got three exams in a row, and history is my last so what essay question do u think is least likely to come up, as i really don’t be having the time to learn them all!

do yous reckon it's ok that I can write all the stuff I need to write about in an essay in bullet points in like 30 minutes but if I try write an actual essay to time it doesn't work? should I be worried
