History GCSE anyone?

Question

Well i have OCR history exam Paper Two on wednesday and i have constantly been revising for that thing but i am getting slighly confused because i don't know what topics are really worth to revise and what are not really needed. Does anyone have an idea on what paper 2 will be? or at least main topics....thanks a lot!!

Answer 1

I'm doing OCR History P2 on wednesday. Are you doing Medicine Through Time or Crime and Punishment? I'm doing Medicine so if you're doing that one too it's the sources paper and is all about the Medical Renaissance (your teachers were supposed to tell you the topic of P2), so I'd revise Vesailus, Paré and Harvey mostly and how Galen's work was being challenged and proved wrong. If you revise that you'll do fine. If you're doing Crime then I have no idea I'm afraid. Good Luck on Wednesday!

Answer 2

Paper 2 is the one I'm doing this Wednesday too. I haven't started revising yet but what you basically need to know is stuff on how to know if source's are reliable (that's just the bit on knowing what a provenance and all that is) and as for actual topic stuff, just learn about the roles of women (so basically the suffragettes and gists) and about how they got the vote, about the liberal reforms and about the home front (stuff on propoganda, DORA, all that). If you learn those last three things (liberal reforms, votes for women and ww1 home front stuff) you should be fine. This paper is less knowldge than the last one anyways and more on understanding sources and being able to write like a historian.

The Papers may probably give you some idea of what can be there in the exam!!.
