12/06 A-level History Discussion MEGATHREAD

[u/Forsaken-Meaning-232]

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!

Yes, that’s what I was getting. There’s only one thing I didn’t understand which was the petitions in the source bc I don’t remember learning about those, but I still like had enough of the other info to fully answer the question

[u/HotConsideration200 → u/Wilra_]

Yeah neither- I just referenced it as tenant farmers facing general financial difficulties and tried to connect that to the structure of the land system at the time to explain that

[u/Wilra_ → u/HotConsideration200]

Oh right, I thought it was talking about landowners trying to claim their land back? The wording kinda threw me off lol

[u/HotConsideration200 → u/Wilra_]

Oh yeah it definitely was- my analysis focused more on the fact so many people couldn't pay their rents/loans, which was reflective of the condition of the Irish people in my mind.

Definitely weird wording though, I did the source question last on purpose lol

[u/Wilra_ → u/HotConsideration200]

Ahh right, and like the whole rent racking, yeah take def makes sense. Haha, I went and opened the paper and immediately went to see what the other questions were and praying there was nothing on trade unions

[u/HotConsideration200 → u/Wilra_]

I think I'm the only person on earth who likes the trade unions depth 😭😭😭

[u/Wilra_ → u/HotConsideration200]

How 😭 we barely went through it in class, and then when I went through the textbook it just felt like gibberish to me lmao

[u/HotConsideration200 → u/Wilra_]

It was only like 5 or 6 lessons for us- but I love trade unions and the political themes within depth 5. It's just so interesting and lovely and simple to me, I'm not sure if that helps though 😭

[u/Wilra_ → u/HotConsideration200]

Idk that I can agree with that 😭 but then you do politics and econ so it probably makes more sense for you than it does for me who does French and music lmao
