    Especially if you're an external candidate. Am I meant to get a booklet? Do I ask a history teacher to sign off on it? Who marks it?

    Sorry for asking so many questions at once but I have no idea how it works and it's already March. I'm panicking big-time!

    A History teacher doesn't just sign off on it. They have to be able to confirm it is your own work, so they would have had to have seen drafts of it as you went along. Otherwise you could just rock up with an essay done by anyone and say it's yours.

    Can you contact your old school and talk to a History teacher there?

    Yeah, I'm planning to ask an old history teacher. Is there some sort of booklet I'm meant to get or do I get that online? I'm pretty confused about how I'm meant to phrase my request to the teacher. Would I have to meet her often?

    You would have to show your planning and the various sources you are using or rejected. It's so she can see there was a process, not just a finished essay. I'd say maybe three or four meetings might do it.

    Here's what the booklet is like:

    Thanks Spurious. So presumably I have to show drafts and planning between now and April 31st?

    Ideally you would have been showing them all along in a class, but if you can still show them now to your supervisng teacher, yes.
