You stare intensely into the German History Paper. *The German History paper stares back at you, piercing through your soul, seething with resentment at the fact that they were placed with you, you who did not revise at all and instead wasted time morphing deeper into your sofa crease*

@@Alonglongtimeago Did get to finish it, however I have a bad feeling I didn't back up all my paragraphs with enough facts,as I feel as if I didn't have enough time, I wish I saw this video before. I feel as if I've capped myself at a 7 (let's be real, it does feel kind of disappointing)
@Alonglongtimeago5 жыл бұрын
I know what you mean, even though 7's a great grade, when you're aiming for better than that, it can be pretty disappointing. That aside, chances are, you did better than you think you did - on my results day, my results were way better than I felt like I'd done coming out of my exams. I could have told you all the specific things I'd done wrong in my history paper and that I thought I was going to get a 7, and maybe scrape an 8 if I got really lucky. So don't sweat, you've probably not capped yourself at a 7 - it's going to be hard to convince yourself of that until results day though. :)

For anyone doing Weimar and Nazi Germany, my history teacher always advises us to start with question 3a. I skip question 1 and 2 (don't worry, I come back to it at the end) and start on question3 which has the most amount of marks. However, she (my history teacher) says not to start with question 3d (the big essay 16 mark question) because you can use your answers from questions 3a, 3b, and 3c in question 3d.

my trick was to read all the questions through and hit the ones I can do quickly, as those are free marks. Then work though the question in order of difficulty to me, leaving the hardest for last. If I run out of time, I will on the last to me question, and will get partial marks for it. Most times, the process of answering the easier ones, help get me rolling for the others.
