It's very hard to fail higher level history but if you think you're not able for it, learn your case studies, as far as i can remember you're given a good few sources and you answer them. Just read the documents and answer the questions. Then you're asked to write a paragraph or two on an episode of history (irish civil war, war of independence etc) If you have been learning at honours level you should be fine because you'll probably have more than enough to answer the question, good luck!

I do OL.. Its very handy.. Its laid out as follows:

Question A (30)
-Document with 5 questions!
(No study is required)

Question B (30)
-This is the hardest because they ask you anything but you only have to write a paragraph.. its usually on key figures etc etc

Question C (40)
-This question requires around an A4 page or in or around that! Its on the case studies.

Pursuit of Sovereignty and Impact of partition
Question B
-Countess Markievicz
-Arthur Griffith
-Michael collins
-Evie Hone
-James Craig
(You need to know a bit more than this but key figures come up every year and dis is what I learned.. they might ask you about the rise of Sinn Fein or something got to do with the war of independance.. but you don't need to write much)

Question C
-Belfast during WWII
-The eucharistic congress
-The treaty negotiations
(Know these and you'l be fine)

Question B
-Joseph Goebbels
-Leni Rifenstahl
-Stalin
-Lenin
-Churchill
-Mussolini
-Anti-Semitism/Holocaust
-Churchstate Relations (Hitler/Mussolini)
(Again.. you only need to know a paragraph on these.. if you have any understanding you be grand!..)

-The show trials
-The Jarrow March


The United States and the Wider World

Question B

The documents questions are ridiculously easy.. just know what subjective and objective is. (Biased and unbiased) I know it seems like a lot but you just need to know a brief amount on each 1.. Best of Luck..
