View Full Version : History - Specification A - How'd It Go?
I did the WJEC papers, and found them both to be alot easier than i expected.
I'd been abit aprehensive because History is that type of subject, if u dont revise and don't know it you'll fail.
I did section two on bother papers also.

most my friends wrote 6-7 pages, i didnt do it, thank god.
Am i right in thinking you guys had a question sheet, and a seperate 12 page answer book?
The WJEC just provides one answer booklet with space underneath each question for your answer, and i filled every available line.

I did OCR Spec A.
Section A was History of Medicine and Section B [our depth study] was American West. I thought it was really hard, and I did a lot of writing. I ended up doing 14 pages - filling up my 8 page answer booklet and 3 additional sheets front and back. But I have large writing so I hope I dont bore examiners.

Mine was History of Medicine, which was sooo easy, then we do Germany 1914-1939, was harder and also wished I chose question 3 instead of 2.

ooh you only get 8 page answer booklets? we get 12.
Errrrr i did Medicine thru time and American west, being as i dont care about History or what i get in that GCSE i dont think i did well.
Not even sure what board im on. Eh
But what reaaaaallly annoyed me was this guy who was set next row to me, when they said "Pens down". He just kept going.. and going until the examiner came to him. And as we were at the back.. he managed to write a whole extra half side for both papers.
****** me right off.
