Thanks everyone for all the estimates over the past year.
Racial policy was in 2015 and foreign policy in 2016. Hence there's a very small chance that it will come up. Highly unlikely in my opinion compared to topics like the role of Hitler/totalitarianism/social and cultural life etc.
Yeah you definitely need a conclusion teeb. It essentially signifies to the marker that you were able to finish your response in the time frame as well as draw your essay to a close. In terms of mark value maybe 1-2 at most, potentially no deduction if the marker is generous.

I memorised all my module essays, creative and discovery essay like a week ago. I just read my notes three times a day for two weeks and have continued to read them this week also (1-2 times a day though) so it stays fresh in my head.
