Hey, for ordinary level history does anyone know how long we should write for the short paragraph questions and the long paragraph questions? As in how many sentences. Thanks

I only know him with hitler as church state relations but nothing on policies external or internal! Oh well

Personally, with American history, I've gone for the factors of the US Boom and Bust. Came up on one of the mocks anyway and it is a question that hasn't come up for quite a while. Quite a hard essay to cram for if you haven't got a decent knowledge of it already. A side from that I have cold war (Berline, Cuba, Korea) and Vietnam.
In europe I think that Mussolini is a safe bet - in depth knowledge of Hitler with him and you're well set for a characteristics of fascism question, church relations etc.
Northern Ireland I've found to be a bit of a pain. Welfare state came up last year but it's hard to exclude that/Brookeborough when they account for roughly twenty years. Saying that, Coleraine and Sunningdale both came up in some way in both mocks so which them and a good knowledge of their effects should cover you in my opinion.

I honestly hope Sunningdale and Downing street Dec. come up tomorrow. It's so nerve wracking having to wait until tomorrow....

I'm too tired to study for this ****. I'm fine with USA and europe but I only know colraine and civil rights on NI, and basically nothing for the document...

Mainly concentrating on hitler, Mussolini, church state relations, propaganda, Lenin and Stalin.
USA- Johnson, Johnson's involvement in Vietnam, Montgomery bus boycott, Cuba Berlin Korea! You?

If I was you maybe studying the Moon Landing as well if you haven't.

Do you think It's possible to *WING* the exam, with the project included and pass?

Maybe glance over Mussolini? It's pretty easy to get the basics down for him, I ended up having to answer on him in my mocks because no Russia came up and I got 96 in the essay :O
also sometimes Vietnam comes up with Korea so again it might be worth glancing over that

alright thanks I'll look over them.

Learn the document and make a good attempt at 2 essays at least. Should get you a pass anyway

Hey guys, I just want to know if I'm set alright for tomorrow

NI: sunningdale+ downing street, civil rights movement, Coleraine and most of Terence O'Neill
Dictatorship and democracy: Stalin, Mussolini, Weimar republic and Nazi state characteristics
USA: US foreign policy (all of it) detente, Vietnam and moon landing

Also does anyone know if the treaty is predicted to come up?

I'd just add Anglo Irish Agreement to that! You're doing what I am, except I'm ignoring the moon landing and doing Britain as well.

PsychoSull

The impact of the EEC on fisheries IS coming up for Ireland Topic 3 in ordinary level.. LEARN IT!!

Ah not bad. I might as well add Anglo Irish agreement too. Thanks :]

sprite123

Working on key personalities myself right now; Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin and Lenin. Then gonna go over my notes for Civil Rights Movement/Boycott/MLK, Vietnam, and the three case studies, the treaty... maybe have a glance over Home Rule. Other than that I'm not sure what else to do at this point.

Should Colarine, Apprentice Boys, Fall of Stormont, Sunningdale Agreement and position of Catholics in NI cover me for the Northern Ireland section? They are all the essays I've gotten, we did nothing on Anglo Irish agreement etc

The Anglo-Irish Agreement generally comes up with Sunningdale and the Downing Street Declaration or in a question on the 'efforts to find a peaceful resolution'

And anyone doing history tomorrow should be studying - not posting on here.

Anyone leave out hitler fp?

Yes! It's an interesting topic but I thought I'd focus on other areas!

Although, if propaganda does come I think it will just be Nazi.

If it is a general question on propaganda you can include Mussolini and Stalin.

Jackson07

Quick question should I study main characteristics of nazi or Lenin and Stalin?? And don't say do both if you guys had to choose...

If they come up together it usually comes up as discussing 'one or more of the following'? So should I be covered with what I've got?

Oh yeah I know. Just a prediction that nazi propaganda will appear on it's own. A propaganda question in general would be sweet! Although, I often get the fear that questions I think are easy are harder to get top marks in! Maybe I'm just paranoid :P

spacefly123

they'd hardly put mussoilini's internal and external policies up again would they?

Minigocko

Terence O Neil's contribution? Anyone think it could come up?

Fitzlad

Any idea what might come up for movements for reform? Im really goosed if Parnell doesn't come up :P

Same! Do we need to tell the examiner or do we just say ordinary when the examiner asks what level?

I asked yesterday about dropping down to ordinary and about spare papers and he said they're given a set amount of spares for people dropping down so if you can help it, get in when the door opens and ask him to give you a pass paper before he starts handing out papers so you get guaranteed one, worst thing would be to run out of pass papers, and it happens a lot apparently people get nerves and drop, just be safe!

Long paragraphed answers include your main points and ideas,opinion. No need for long four page essays. For document question focus on advantages of the source e.g biased.
