Good luck, Historians!

For everybody partaking in the History exam tomorrow, good luck!
I'm sure we will all be fine - despite the breadth of knowledge we have to memorise, i think it is all stored in our memory somewhere! It's just a matter of retrieving it when we're in the exam! Haha.

Good luck!

Save me :(

I don't know enough historians.  How detailed do they want our knowledge of historians to be?!

Eugh I don't know enough historians either! Well, just know enough so that you can sort of 'fit' them into any argument I guess.

Good luck everyone...lol just make something up if you can't retrieve anything!

I'm hoping they don't give us really obscure topics most people haven't studied in depth...!

with historians, you just have to be able to extract the key strengths and weaknesses from the source you get and the main idea that the source is suggesting. then show that you know history is complex and you can just accept one person's viewpoint so contrast it to someone elses opinion of the time/event
....if only it were that easy! lol
do you all know a lot about the role of political clubs etc? im scared i dont

In terms of the French rev, I know a fair bit about political clubs...but my knowledge of the Enlightenment and leaders is a  little sketchy to say the least. In one of the practice books I have, I came across a picture for France AOS 1 that was entirely about the Enlightenment...I'm gonna fail if we get a question like that tomorrow! I can't talk in detail about that.

I just studied revolutionary movements for Russia, because it was the only concept i didn't know. I think it will be in the exam - Section A Part 1. That's my prediction.
