I found it overall a good exam, not great, good!
I found that the curriculum was not distributed enough and the Irish History section dominated the paper!
I hate to burst your little bubble of anger but i think a Renaisance artist from outside of Italy came up! Anyone who studied the renaisance well would have prepared that!
I answered all of the source questions quite well, I answered most of the short questions but i did find some hard!
I answered the question 5, I wrote like two pages for it, i think it may have been a little too brief!
I answered Social change and International relations, they were more successful that i would have imagined, i got about three pages on the first one and two for the later one! You needed to know your stuff and be quick and efficent!

Question four was good! I answered on a child in ancient rome and Christopher Columbus!
Good exam hope i get a C anyway!

Really nice paper

Q1 was really strange I said parchment and ink as my answer

Q2 Was pretty normal, easy enough

Q3 was really weird this year, I usually can get all 20 questions fine, but only was able to be sure of 15, doesn't matter though

Q4 SWEET!! Did 2 pages on Ancient rome and 2 pages on columbus

Q5 Plantations I think I barely gave good answers on this question, only did 2 pages

Q6 Reformation and WW2, My 2 favourite chapters. I love reading about WW2 so I was able to write loads for the last few questions..


Im hoping for an A, B if im not that lucky.

I didn't think it was too bad, thought the short questions were a bit tricker then usual though, the rest was pretty fine, I was delighted with the very last question, the twentieth century thingy went really well for me and you didn't even have to have studied the social history to get it right, just have listened to your grandparents ramblings and you would have been fine

X was Padraig Pearse?! Yeeess! Pictures and Documents were grand, had to completely make up the Irish history questions though. Short questions were a bit weird, when I practised exam papers there'd always only be about 2 or 3 I didn't know but I barely got 10 in the exam, and the second page seemed to be nothing but Irish history. Essays were grand, though I was pissed that a revolutionary leader didn't come up. My Roman essay was good but the structure was kind of horrible because I kept remembering things and having to put them in randomly, Christopher Columbus was alright but I forgot my dates except 1452. Plantations could have been better. I didn't do as well for the reformation question as I should have because I didn't know what the Peace of Aufsburg was and I don't think my Calvin answer was long enough. Was delighted with International Relations, LOVE that section. And did anyone else think the paper was really like the pre?

qwerty4

Couldn't have asked for a better paper apart from Q 5.. Bulled my way through the last question on Q5.. And did all three so they'll take my best two.. People in Historys were brilliant Saw ancient civilisation and explorer and that was me sorted.. Didn't even bother reading the others! Ha.. Q 6 was brilliant.. Didn't think Cold War would come up seeing as it did last year but was still prepared :cool: Very happy overall

For question 6 I chose to do social change and political developments in 20th century Ireland.

In my account about the home rule crisis I called the Irish volunteer force the irb. However,the Irish volunteer force where under the command of the irb

The question was worth 12 marks. Any ideas in how many marks u would loose if any?

Social change is alot more harder to get marks than it's made out to be.You must be very careful with wording (such as saying most women stayed to work at home instead of ALL women), and the wording of the question, and make sure to refer to past and present in all points.
