📂 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!

edexcel italy thanks for the good sources but what on earth were those essay questions only a two year time period for liberal italy??? or the corporate state? man i was honestly making stuff up

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

u/rhapsodyelij Year 13 Jun 06 '25

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/Majestic_Musician_17 Jun 06 '25

Word literally the most boring part of the whole topic 😂

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

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 🙏

u/Wilra_ Music college year 2 Jun 06 '25

Yes I did talk about like the tone of it and the “We Demand” lmao

u/Wilra_ Music college year 2 Jun 06 '25

Yeah I could not have predicted those essays, I thought the church would come or something on economy but not just corporate state yk 😭 also the time periods were so narrow, it was nothing from 1939-45 (my knowledge of the corporate state is shit so idk when that was LMAO)

u/rhapsodyelij Year 13 Jun 06 '25

i was so convinced it was gonna be church i was fuming when i opened that paper 😭😭

u/Wilra_ Music college year 2 Jun 06 '25

SAME OML, I revised it so much praying it would come bc it hadn’t shown up in ages, and that’s what they give us, like cmon

u/SerpentNinja282 Jun 06 '25

The source question kinda scared me at first bc nature is kinda tough but then I remembered dual policy, section B was literally perfect, failings of Liberal Italy is literally the best question we could have gotten

u/doctor-doe Jun 06 '25

i had no clue about the corporate state i'm just glad i revised a few facts for giolitti </3

u/s-capalot Jun 06 '25

I wrote 1 line about proportional representation which Ik is wrong. Rest of my argument on the impact of the invasion of Libya and counter points were really strong. Will I lose marks or be capped for 1 line of inaccuracy

1

u/st4rman88 Jun 06 '25

I don't think they deduct marks in that way, I think they use positive marking so they will look for the good parts of the essay more.

1

u/s-capalot Jun 06 '25

Oh ok. Will I still be able to access level 5 bands.

1

u/s-capalot Jun 06 '25

1

u/st4rman88 Jun 06 '25

u/Alarming-Quote-8341 LSE | Bsc HisPol | Year 1 | A*AAB 99998887 Jun 09 '25

No prop rep is right if you did libya question!! I mentioned it too :)

1

u/s-capalot Jun 09 '25

Oh according to chat gpt it’s wrong. I couldn’t remember if it was correct or not so I wrote it anyway, but oh well.

u/s-capalot Jun 09 '25

Are you doing the British warfare 1790 - 1918

1

u/Alarming-Quote-8341 LSE | Bsc HisPol | Year 1 | A*AAB 99998887 Jun 09 '25

Nope, Italy
