Schools History Project - Wed 9th June

[Mathew]

Anyone doing the Schools History Project exam on Wednesday 9th June (Paper 1)? It's morning.
Mine will be about Medicine Through Time and the American West..

Rather scared about this one, need it for 6th Form and I just hope it's an easy paper, there is so much to revise.

[myke]

I done it last year, done no revising, didn't have a teacher for most of the year, when we did get one he taught us the wrong section and made us do the wrong coursework and got a D... which ent good, but it's not bad for no revising, so you should be fine Matt :)

[luce]

i don't know if we're doing the same paper but i'm doing USA, something which i can't remember but it's Roosevelt throguh Bush Sr and Russia, Rise and fall of the Soviet Union

I'm scared but I got A* in my mock so there should be nothing to worry about :-)

[Andeeh]

Im doing medicine and germany 1919 - 1945 :( petrified but ah well give it a shot

[Luke]

I'm in Year 10, and they've changed it - they've split the sections; so I'm only doing Medicine through time tomorrow and American west next year. There's SOO much to revise :|

Sick off it.
Hippocrates influenced Galen with his four humours theory who then came up with the opposites. His ideas fit in with the christian belief that humans were created by one god therefore weren't challenged for over 1000 years. No-one dared challenge because it was punishable by death to challenge the church; this hindered developments through he middle ages. (:

Argh!

Oh that's not good. I'd be so annoyed if we'd been taught all the wrong things.. lol!
Spoke to my teacher just before leaving the revision session today and he says I need to get about 65% of the paper right for a B. Seems fair enough to me.

Only doing Medicine tomorrow then? You have it so easy, lol!
Take pity on me who has twice as much information to remember, doing American West as well :P

Spent 4 hours in school revising and been doing lots since I got home. Think I'm quite prepared for the part Medicine now, just read the parts on American West before bed and it should be ok.

Good luck to everyone sitting it tomorrow :)
And of course, I'm doing Physics tomorrow afternoon so good luck to those in that :P

Haha :P Yupp. Still struggling though :L Especially with the 19th century government - can't remember their names!

[marriott0.01]

I'm doing the International Relations and Germany paper which has a lot about the League of Nations, Peace Treaties after WW1 and other stuff. Then have the second part of the paper which is the German Depth Study. Then got the British Paper on some other day (Think it's Friday)! So yeah your sounds boring, but sounds a hell of a lot easier.

As long as you know what the people did and what effect it had on medicine I doubt you'd lose marks for not remembering their names. After all, there might not even be a question on them :P

That's why my teacher decided to do Medicine + American West over Germany and Crime & Punishment for example - there's just too many dates and treaties to remember! :P

Takes a real History student to study all that I've studied ;) Lols good luck in your exam I'm revising in the morning at 5am for mine as I'm ******* feeling well **** :|

[Mathew]

Haha, I'll probably be getting up around 7 to have a quick read through. Don't want to be getting too stressed on the morning :P

[Andeeh]

i done that last year haha easiest A ever
ahh niceee!

Does anyone have 3 history papers? I got 2 tomorrow and then another one next week :(

[Mathew]

I have Paper 1 tomorrow (two sections, Medicine + American West) and Paper 2 next week (Medicine in the Middle Ages).

[Geraint]

ahh niceee!

yeah, 2 straight after each other tomorrow and one next week. have germany 1919-1945 and sport, leisure, tourism tomorrow with medicine next week.

[Jordy]

I have Paper 1 tomorrow (two sections, Medicine + American West) and Paper 2 next week (Medicine in the Middle Ages).Yeah same here. It's a terrible course, I can't stand medicine or the american west. I was meant to be spend today revising but I've been caught up with other things so I'm thoroughly unprepared which is quite odd for me. Not looking forward to it at all.

[Andeeh]

just revised all ɡermany so pretty confident on that ː) medicine bit tricky need to focus on chanɡes after eiɡhteen sixty one ǃ

[Luke]

thank god that's over ;D

[Mathew]

Thought it went ok. The medicine part was good, won't say easy questions but fair. Spent an extra 15 mins on Medicine than I should have done so didn't really do as well on American West as I'd hoped. Hopefully with coursework at A* and a good B on Paper 2 I should average the B I need.

How did everyone else find the exam?

On another note, today's physics exam was rock hard! :P

[Andeeh]

I was most confident after I came out of this exam, I dont know why I just felt its one of the few exams I done myself justice. Science failed though :( just hope the guessing gods were on my side!
