History Exam Q.

Doyler92

Hi.

While doing my history mock I did not write one single year other than the years given on the paper.

I really hadn't a clue when anything happened.

Do you think it's betetr to give no years or wrong years in the exam itself?

Hmm... Well generally speaking, I'd say the more (accurate) dates you know, the better you'll do in the exam. I guess if you make one or two mistakes, they're probably not going to be too hard on you, so long as the majority of years you've given are right. But it'll be obvious if you're just guessing or don't know your dates properly.

Yeah I get that, but like is it better to write no dates as they will be more than likely wrong or do it and get them wrong?

You don't(!) need dates really, as long as you can get the sequence of events in the right order.
