is it ok to write substantially more than the space often? or should I only do that a couple of times?
when I went to a revision lecture, the presenters said that the space provided should be an indication of how much we should write... but I have a tendency to go over the limit =S

I was sitting behind someone in the History exam last year and I saw that she had filled up almost the whole page (about two times the amount of lines that they give you) for her responses (Excluding the extended response, of course). In quite tiny writing too! She ended up getting 49 raw.
I guess it depends who you get as a marker. And whether what you are saying is of any substance, or just fluff.

So say you have an obviously soviet document about war communism you could say
' In contrast to this soviet biased account, historian pipes argues that war communism was an "ambitious attempt to introduce full blown communism" '.
and sometimes you might have a second quote and say, 'historian figes supports this as he states....'

yep thats exactly how id do it, although i cannot stand pipes
--- End quote ---
lol im deffs not a fan of pipes, but hes good to throw in because he's completely opposed to anything soviet...
I've pretty much just memerised a pipes or figes quote and a lenin/cpsu quote for each key event in aos2, pretty much deals with everything ive been faced with lol

lol gotta love the CPSU book and its quotes like "tsarism was the proverbial hunchback whom only the grave could cure" ;D
