  • In your revision plan questions across all 5 time periods for the depth study questions. You have a choice of 2 questions in Section B. The source question will be from one of the depth studies.
  • Know the difference between the depth and breadth topics and the style of questions.
  • For Section C: be prepared to answer a question on geography or media, as the exam paper could give you a choice of two questions from the same breadth study topic.
  • When using the source always discuss the NOP. (Nature, origin and purpose.) Use the provenance.
  • Start with Section A as you can spend time reading the source and annotating.
  • Section B questions are depth knowledge questions that focus on detail. You can be asked about one year e.g. 1964 or asked a question across two depth studies e.g. How far did the Jim Crow laws revert black Americans to their quality of life pre-13th amendment?
