I love History, it's my favourite subject but parents wont let me carry it onto degree level which is a shame because i got an A* at GCSE and 247/300 at AS and this year at A2 is even easier than last year so I'm very hopeful for an A overall at A-level. People, History is probably the BEST subject in the world to study, i really advise you to do it, it opens up many gates in life, civil services, law, teaching, management, business, politics etc etc. Unfortunately i have strict parents so I am unable to carry it on but i really advise people who want to do it to do it as it is just brilliant.
Here is the basic formula.
Person/Event > Action > Effect.
Start with opening paragraph that dirtectly/or in some way links with the question.
Eg
German recovery 1933-1939
The Treaty of Versailles was widely acknowledged to be harsh on Germany. Psychologically, Militarily, Territorially and above all economically Germany was shattered. The German people called the Treaty and its clauses a breach of human rights and a 'dolschuss' (stab in the back). Many people, including the British, agreed with this and sympathised - but it wasn't up to them to help.
(then carry it on) - guaranteed C in A-level and depending on language, a B or even a A. Keep it simple, keep to the point, use examples and illustrate their effects and you will get a really good mark.

Your parents won't allow you to continue it at degree level? Don't you get to make your own decisions about potentially life influencing choices?

No they dont. Many people on here have it the same, i cant really think of anyone who WANTS to do Maths > Pure maths at AS/A. Parents are the driving factors behind a lot of asian students and other students too. My cousin didnt want to become a doctor - infact he loathed the idea but his mum and dad made him because it was what his cousins were doing and they seemed to be making £50k per year. Still..my cousin wanted to be a lawyer but his parents 'persuaded' him not to go down that path. He enjoys it now though but gets stressed at Uni because of all the work etc etc

Bristol have told me to wait until spring for their decision and I have an offer of ABB from Birmingham.
Hope this helps,

Congrats.
When did u hear? When did you send off ur UCAS? I'm well confused by Manchester as online in the prospectus it says AAB whereas when I got them to send me a prospectus after a mad panic (I'm applying post A Level with ABB - A in history) and found it said ABB/BBB.... so which is true?? Will just have to cross my fingers.
