People In History Q

IrishLoriii

Hi all!
I have a quick Q!
I am an Honours History and for people in history yesterday I misread the question and wrote all about a mine worker not an owner
I started it off with ''Hi my name is .. I have been working in the mines since i was ...''

Will I get ANY marks?!

Ehm I'd presume so I mean they're fairly similar hmmmm check examinations.ie for the marking scheme on previous people on history questions

if you wrote down fact information you could get up to as much marks as the owner essay

What did you write about in the essay?

IrishLoriii

I mentioned the mine acts and all and I wrote about the conditions that the workers were iin but I wrote it in first person account and my job since the start of the mines and song birds and all? ;/ Oh and where they live (in the huts) and all

I just found the question ''A factory/mine owner during the Industrial Revolution in Britain, c. 1850.'' in the 2005 HL Paper.

Then it says in the marking scheme for it:
''If the answer is exclusively from the perspective of the factory worker,
Max CM = 8 Max OM =0.''

CM= Facts
OM= Over all mark, (the examiners judgement on it)

Don't know if thats any help.. :)

unfortunately this means that if you did it on a factory worker you can only get 8 points out of 20

Yes, you have to answer the question asked to get full marks.

Don't worry about it OP - not the end of the world.

Made a similar mistake in the pre. Said i was George Washington when i was supposed to be a supporter of him. Still got 16 so you should get some marks

Try not to worry. I only got 3 out of 20 marks, in one of the people in history on the pre exam. Still managed to get a B tho.

Don't worry about it.

Take it as a learning-curve for your LC. As Spurious said, you need to answer the question asked to get full marks.

iloveconverse is right. Its done now, there is nothing you can do about it so dont worry and focus on your next exam unless your finished of course. I am still waiting for music. Dont have post mortems you can still do good OP.
