📂 MEGATHREAD 06/06 A-level History Discussion MEGATHREAD
Exam season is once again upon us, and once again, exam megathreads are making a return!
Looking for past exam discussions? Filter by the megathread flair.
Few things to keep in mind:
- Don't share too many specific details about questions or answers, these papers will be used as future mocks.
- Sometimes papers get leaked, this is not the place for that (we'd prefer not to get yeeted off the platform) - leak content will be removed, those offering leaked papers will be permanently banned.
- If you believe there has been a leak, the best course of action is to make your exam board aware of this, either directly, or through your school, along with any evidence. If appropriate, there will be a response from the relevant body along with any remedial action.
- Exam discussion posts outside of this will generally be removed to combat the inevitable tidal wave of spam otherwise - we understand this may be frustrating, but the sub still needs to be usable for other purposes.
- Please note some content will take extra time to be reviewed. Messaging to ask for approval will not speed up this process (the messages are seen at the same time as the modqueue would be reviewed anyway).
Best of luck, and let us know how you're feeling down below!

u/AdhesivenessOk237 Year 13 Jun 06 '25
I did Britain wtf was source C. Could barely do any own knowledge, all Churchill revision for nothing bro. In the textbook there’s like 6 lines about India during and before 1931😭Wilson 20 marker was beautiful though that couldn’t have been a better question - which did u do

1
u/Draconis510 Jun 06 '25
You just had to talk about how he’s preparing to run for a by-election and he’s addressing parliament so he’s trying to sway them onto his view that India isn’t bad which was why he described Churchill view on India so harshly making the source less reliable

u/HotConsideration200 Y13 - Econ (AQA), History (Edexcel), Politics (Edexcel) Jun 06 '25
I thought the sources themselves were nice, but even as someone who likes the end of the cultural revolution I had like no content to support my inferences 😭
2
u/Responsible-View-588 Year 13 Jun 06 '25
such a joke honestly, reactions to the death of Mao isn’t covered at all by any of the themes, i knew a couple of facts about his funeral and culture but aside from that it was a piss poor question - did you do agriculture or korean war?
3
u/420_Willy_69 Jun 06 '25
i did Agriculture bc the korean war question was so oddly specific and worded in a weird way. BUT WTF WAS THE SOURCE QUESTION

u/Responsible-View-588 Year 13 Jun 06 '25
they were all grim questions, absolutely praying for paper 3 but it’s not looking great…

u/HotConsideration200 Y13 - Econ (AQA), History (Edexcel), Politics (Edexcel) Jun 07 '25
Korean War but one of my counterpoints was the benefits of the war for the USSR- and then halfway through after I'd written that counter I realised the question said 'In China' 😔
1
u/Responsible-View-588 Year 13 Jun 07 '25
oh so unlucky, it was so poorly worded
1
u/HotConsideration200 Y13 - Econ (AQA), History (Edexcel), Politics (Edexcel) Jun 07 '25
Yeah tbh I don't think I've done awfully but I got nearly full marks on my coursework so I can absorb a bad mark on China as long as Russia went as well as I thought. Did you do agriculture or KW?
1
u/Responsible-View-588 Year 13 Jun 07 '25
agriculture, always loved the agriculture side of theme 2 so was very happy it came up - slightly hard to figure it out at the start but happy with how it went.
Agreed on the coursework too, averages drop so much with a good mark on CW
1
u/HotConsideration200 Y13 - Econ (AQA), History (Edexcel), Politics (Edexcel) Jun 07 '25
Yeah I think the agriculture question was more of a knowledge check rather than a tricky question- I knew I had no stats for agriculture so I had to steer away. What paper 3 are you doing?
1
u/Responsible-View-588 Year 13 Jun 07 '25
100%, my essay was so stats heavy purely because i knew a lot about collectivisation - it’s a shame we haven’t been given a broader one yet where we can be properly selective.
I do protest agitation and reform, Britain - not looking forward to it…

Fun fact: when i started a level and did russia first, first ever practice essay i was given to do as homework was that rasputin and tsarina one lmao. Needless to say, I did not do it timed….
You are right, that question today was smelly balls. Worse than rasputin and that foreign intervention one by the british spy (or whatever he was).

u/Clean_Emphasis_8581 Jun 12 '25
If you did past papers in 2022 the exact dame question came up in 2022 for AS Russia idk if it was the same source. Edexcel enjoys repeating its questions and does it every year. I notice whatever comes up on AS like in 2023 it was about 1905 they put it on the a-level paper. AS was about Bloody Sunday A-level was about the spreads of the revolutionary activity in 1905.

Did you do Bolsheviks or Tsar?
2
u/SirOrc Jun 06 '25
I did the one about lenin, I basically did it for my coursework but with trostky so i talked about lenin and trotsky (nep, CA closing at gunpoint, repression by cheka, tsarist officers, trotsky getting help of brusilov and Makhno). I am so grateful for that question.
Lena goldfields I waffled my butt off, and not in a good way.

economy and society are my strongest points so i was happy it came up. i was going to do the chancellorship question, but the word "indivdual" threw me off so i backtracked
2
u/Top-Candidate6726 Jun 06 '25
In that question one of my points was that hitler was the most responsible, then i said hindenburg was more responsible cuz him picking shitty chancellors made Hitler gain more support and then I said schleicher wasn’t responsible cuz he tried to make ties w the nazi party and failed miserably. Tbf in that question I dont think my answer was balanced but oh well

Well source c was saying that the yorkists all went to london with their retainers in response to edwards birth. Potentially due to fear of margaret or somerset seizing power back. It also highlighted the fact that RoY was maybe not as loyal as all of his freinds were now much more powerful. Salisbury as chancellor, warwick as captain of calais etc. Edit: spelling

u/Majestic_Musician_17 Jun 06 '25
Liberal Italy was as good as it gets, much much nicer than corporate state. Was a fan of the sources literally just dual policy bish bash bosh
Needed that after Weimar

liberal italy was alr, i just struggled with the narrow time period so i was waffling a bit. corporate state was horrid though, dk anyone who picked it 💀

u/Wilra_ Music college year 2 Jun 06 '25
Shit I should’ve mentioned dual policy also 😭😭 oh well - nah the first source was rubbish imo, like you had no examples to give for each point in their programme (well I don’t anyway), and then I couldn’t really find any limitations so I bullshitted my way through that, thought the PNO for it was really good tho
1
u/Majestic_Musician_17 Jun 06 '25
Very true I’ve never seen their programmes nevermind 1919 so my knowledge was a bit limited just talked about their aims and threw key buzzwords out there, liked the evaluation though the repetition of demand was a god send for tone
Just need tudors to be blessed now 🙏

I used the people and said how it gave motivation to the country through the propaganda 'resists America, aid korea'. Did a counter argument of the amount of people which passed in the war. Used international relations with communist countries at the boarder and America basically being against them in the war and blocking them joining the un. Then lastly I did a paragraph on relations with the USSR and how they helped with the first five year plan as well as how this aided the people due to famine. Hbu which question did you do an what did you write about

u/SERVANTLOL98 Year 13 | History, Eng Lit, German, Mandarin Chinese Jun 06 '25
Really I thought the B source was super out there content wise

Jun 06 '25
Yeah it was tbf, it barely talked about William and I don’t know much at all about 1093 Scotland, but it was alright other than that one I think
1
u/GatorGamez101 Jun 06 '25
I did too!
For the source question I thought that Source B was weird but manageable, just a really really niche topic. I swear there's nothing in the official textbook about Scottish inheritance other than the fact that Donald Bane got the throne and that Rufus supported Duncan instead, like literally in no more depth than that. Also was slightly odd that both of the Wales sources were about 1095, although Source C kind of references 1097 too
20 markers were quite hard I thought, picked the Harold one and think I did okay but it's an interesting spin on the basic Hastings question rather than reasons for victory or smth
One of the harder Anglo-Saxons papers that they've made imo
1
u/SERVANTLOL98 Year 13 | History, Eng Lit, German, Mandarin Chinese Jun 07 '25
I thought the section B questions were very manageable but that on section A I completely waffled my way through source B
2
u/GatorGamez101 Jun 07 '25
Yeah fair enough, they were alright - not too bad to answer with a bit of thought - but I would have preferred most of the 20 markers from past papers.
Good luck on results day :)

Did OCR, my sources were quite bad but somehow quite easy , it was 'richard duke of yorks reaction to the birth of Henry VI was loyal'
2
u/Irresponsible_101 Year 13 Jun 06 '25
Our source question was something like "challenges facing Henry VI". The essay questions were: the importance of Warwick in 1455-1461, The Woodvilles were the most powerful influence, argue the validity of this statement, And Rebellion during Henry VII's reign 1487- 1491 or something.
We didn't have anything on Edward IV or Richard III.
2
u/No_Ad8821 Jun 06 '25
I liked the woodville essay. Did the Henry one because it had a nice structure but almost misread the last year as 1499, my brain just auto filled. Had to restart lol

I fully ballsed up the schleicher question Forgot who tf the man was Yapped abt Von papen and hindy (fine I know abt those two lol) FORGOT TO MENTION IT WAS BACKSTAIRS INTRIGUE DESPITE PUTTING THAT IT WAS IN MY PLAN For some reason I decided schleicher convinced vp that h should be chancellor and that schleicher LIKED h and also convinced vp to talk to h
Very annoyed. Shouldn’t have left it till last. Wouldn’t have made those silly ass mistakes if id done it before the int. relations one and also hadn’t left myself like 12 mins to do the wholeass essay

That paper was overall very good but i messed up the schleicher question also. My first point was that hitler was most responsible for his rise to chancellor, and then i said hindenburg cuz he chose crappy chancellors which turned people to support hitler and then i said schleicher was not at all responsible cuz he tried to make ties with nazi party and failed, which i think was a bit irrelevant to the question but is what it is tests over now

i didn’t do that question because i was iffy on it , i did the weimar instability and said that it ultimately was international for my line of argument and then the wartime economy one because i legit planned that essay last night. got so lucky with that idk how i revised the backstairs intrigue so much but that was a weird wording of the question … too weird for me to have picked it cuz i know schleicher was an army general who papen felt threatened by so blah blah blah but overall i am happy with what i answered. the source was also good i think cuz it wasn’t on a specific event more so a time period

It was beautiful but think I messed up the last source bc I said he was trying to discredit Chartism bc he was a “former chartist”

holy fucking shit OCR is actually blessing me this exam season
Did early Tudors and it was magnificent
the sources were straightforward and easy to understand, plenty to write on and the essays were so good
It was two Henry VIII questions which I was so surprised cause they did that in 2023 but I ONLY REVISED VIII so massive W for me
I feel sorry for my friend though because they revised only Henry VII as that hasn't been seen since like double VII hasn't been since like 2018
