History Revolutions Discussion
« on: November 12, 2009, 03:51:00 pm »
i actually loved the chinese section A, freakin easy and section B of France with the document was good but the essay question planning took up practically 5-7 minutes of the reading time  :idiot2:(there was so much that could have been included).

I did:
Section A: France
Section B : Russia

The French 10 markers were great in my opinion, and the extract was very fair. For Part B, the document was rather vague to answer the 2 mark questions, took me a while to find them in the speech. But, the prompt was great. Sacrificing ideals is such a generic question for AOS 2, was well prepared. Realistically hoping for a high B+ or low A.

Section A: France
Section B : Russia

American Wars threw me off for a bit. Managed okay though (Finances, Lafayette, ideas, etc. )
Part B for France was pretty good. I was a bit nervous about it, but after talking to my teacher apparantly I wrote all the right things (Terror, Robespierre, etc.) =D

Russia was friggin' awesome!!!
Don't think I could have asked for a better document or essay prompt. (Especially essay prompt!)

Overall I'm pretty happy :)

Section A: France
Section B: Russia

the fact that we got 2 documents threw me off.... it worked out in the end, but nevertheless, would have liked to have a visual because we practiced for them...

A: America
B: Russia

Reading through the questions, they seemed fine. Russia was relatively straight-forward, there was plenty of thigns to write about for both. However easy the essay prompt was, I just blanked. I couldn't believe it!
The question about Jefferson threw me off, because all I had in my head was the works of Thomas Paine. I ran out of time because I couldn't really come up with anything legit to fill in the lines. It was awful.
History was meant to be my strongest! out the window.

that question about the law of 4th december threw me off. i knew what it was, the law of stupid frimaire. i even wrote it down, but then i crossed it out for some reason and only came back to the question with a minute left, so i didn't really have an answer. i hope they read my crossed out part? :/

i liked section a: france, question 1. about the influence of the american war of independence on the lead up to the french revolution.

Has anyone noticed most of the exams this year have been on the easier side?

France A: The extract was ridiculous and the questions even tougher. Who on earth studied about the law of 4 December? I didn't even know it existed.

Russia was fairly easy but that didn't stop me from screwing it up.
