I loved sources C and D! Source A was tedious though. I read it like three times. I did the source questions last in about 30min and finished on pens downLoved the exam!
was soo good
WW1 was just awesome, even though the sources were a bit tedious to read
Germany - the moment i saw a question on weimar and nazi germany, i began to relax and took it easy... obviously chose question A, weimer, as that was the part of the syllabus i focused on most, wrote 3 full booklets
Personality was straight forward as usual, 1 booklet for 10 marker, 2 for 15 marker
cold war, Also the question was just perfect - 2 booklets
ended up with 8 booklets overall, feeling confident with this one
What'd you include in your answer for the 8 marker?I loved sources C and D! Source A was tedious though. I read it like three times. I did the source questions last in about 30min and finished on pens down
I had to write so small for that 8 marker– one page was not enough haha. I used the bad tactics (the "huge offensives"), incompetent generals, and the nature of a war of attrition making breakthrough difficult. Looking back I should have done the defensive weaponry, but I expounded on the quotes a lot which took up space. I'll probably get 6 or 7 out of 8 for that one.What'd you include in your answer for the 8 marker?
I did:
nature of defensive weaponry
inexperienced Generals as the source pointed out anyway
difficulties in terrain
low soldier morale
we both kind of had the same approach lolI had to write so small for that 8 marker– one page was not enough haha.

yep i found the Germany question pretty decent too, it was really only about the first dotpointI thought it was a quite straight forward exam in terms of questions.
World War 1 was very simple and I thought the 8 marker was quite easy to answer. I looked at tactics and strategies, communication and logistical problems.
Weimar Questions were pretty decent, i chose the one about a lack of stability up until 1923. Drawing upon nationalism, the treaty of Versailles, the autonomy of the German army and political street tensions.
Conflict in Europe I chose the question which was to assess the significance of El Alamein to allied victory. was pretty straight forward, just compared it in terms of significance, scale and strategy to Stalingrad and Barbarossa.
Speer was out personality and again it was pretty much just a recall of information.
Pretty solid exam.
Which question did you start with?Strenuous
WW1 was alright; started weimar- then switched to weimar
--> totally didn't write enough.
USSROur school does our own trials and exam is next week so I need practice questions..
Anyone remember the question for Cold War or Russia?
