Had to repost this sorry

Anything on the fascist dictators? Apparently mussolini's a good bet this year?

I've done propaganda too. Does any one think that is likely? Will look over church state relations and Mussolini this morning. How do I look to be set?

Realistically they could ask you literally anything. I'm in the same boat with not many essays covered, but at the end of the day I'll need a bit of luck. It's hard to tell in history whether you're "set" or not unless you've covered virtually everything. Good luck anyway

Cheers. Any recommendations I should try to cram in this morning?

I'm trying to cram in a few easy ones to have me covered - Coleraine, O'Neill, Heaney, LBJ & Vietnam, Berlin, Stalin, and France 1920-40. Praying to god that gets me through it. Treaty Negotiations for documents as well is most likely

Anyone with expectations for Movements for Reform?Maybe Parnell and Butt or Land Agitation and all that?

RAnderson1995

feeling a bit worried for this one! i have the three documents done just in case, I'm completely ignoring anything to do with racial conflict and CRM, i'm doing us foreign policy, korea, berlin, cuba and vietnam and LBJ... and space race as moon landing is pretty tipped this year!
for Dictatorship and Democracy i'm doing propaganda in fascists, stalin, rise of nazi's and Mussolini
for NI i'm going to look back over sunningdale, coleraine and civil rights...

good, that's reassuring! History's in my top 3 subjects so hopefully if there's anything else i'll have a decent idea of what to write!

Just saw the paper pretty shocked about the documents question being Belfast and not the Treaty but I think the sweet Parnell question kind of makes up for it..

MrAweesome

Church state relations and sunningdale and anglo Irish agreement yay!

LC767

Can I ask...you know in the france question, when it said "fortunes" did that mean what good things happened in France or just what things happened, good or bad?

a0ifee

pleased with that paper, wasn't expecting that document glad I looked at it! Nasty dictatorship & democracy section mind

Beautiful paper... thought the treaty would be the doc but happy enough regardless...:D:D

Lots of looks of despair in my exam centre today! Interesting to put Race Relations on up to Raegan's time though. NI wasn't so nice, most people ended up doing Sunningdale and Anglo Irish, Dict. and Dem. challenging enough too

Happy with everything but the Northern Irish section. I did the Sunningdale agreement question but we never covered the Anglo Irish Agreement in class, so I couldn't reference it obviously. What are the max marks I can get in the question? I'm a bit gutted because the rest of the exam went well and I'm afraid it will drag me down

MightyMandarin

Northern Ireland, WTF was that?

If you were grand content-wise, you should be ok in the CM, but without referencing a specific part of a question you will lose quite a bit of marks in OE.

Yeah I've looked up marking schemes with questions where they want you to reference both and the max is CM = 50, and OE is still 40 I think. And I did reference the question so fingers crossed it wont affect my grade too badly.

Not being pessimistic, but I'd say very few people have only referenced one event when asked to reference 2, and still got 40/40 on the OE. It's possible, but, since the OE is meant to reflect on how well you structured your answer as well as answered the question, I doubt you can get 40 marks on the OE

So I'm guessing you eventually found out the format!

Pretty bad exam, NI was rubbish, Europe was horrible but luckily for me I knew church state relations, no treaty and no foreign policy in America??

Minigocko

read the soviet question wrong and mainly wrote about lenin, until i realised on my third page that it said from 1924, lenin DIED in 1924 unfortunately, i got two pages of stalin but alot more detail and content went into my analysis of lenin, spoke about his background, the civil war, red terror, war communism, ignored NEP, went straight to stalin, did his policies, show trials, cult of stalin, etc- can i still get an A2? will it have a big effect ony my result?

Yes I'm aware I was just stating what I saw. Ugh, I'm fairly disgusted now, been getting 100% in all my essays since 5th year and was hoping for an A but now I don't know.

WoolyAbyss

I thought it was fine the only thing that I found particularly difficult was Northern Ireland I had prepared sunningdale but knew very little about the Anglo Irish agreement so I did the cultural identity question and just talked about the apprentice boys, GAA and the orange order. I was really just writing anything down that even remotely made sense to the question.

Putting in WW2 for Stalin was cheeky

You mightn't get an A1, but could still pull out an A2. Average mark for RSR is 93%, so odds are you got >93 on that, and Document should yield you 90+ if you did it well. If your other essays were good, they could yield you 90+ too, meaning that even with a 60-70mk essay, you could still pull out an A2 or an A1 if you're lucky/ marking scheme was in your favour. You should still be happy that you've finished the worst exam in the LC, I know I am.:D
