    1. Revise Wise seems okay.
    2. Its like an essay, only shorter. Intro and conclusion. 1 1/2 Minimum to get full marks (4 page for 100 marks, 1.6 pages for 40 marks you'd think)
    3. Try to use only relevant information to the question and the time its from (ie 1939-1945). Make sure its also good points that you are making.
    4. A rate is 11-12 %, higher than some but lower than others, if you're good enough you'll get the A

    Make your own notes on the different topics.
    You will learn much more than slavishly following someone else's work.

    There are 60 cumulative marks available - that is 5 paragraphs at 12 marks per paragraph or 8 paragraphs at 8 marks per paragraph with a couple of 6 marks. If you get 60 CM marks you will pick up 30+ out of 40 for the overall evaluation.

    Trying to write 12 mark paragraphs will do your head in - 8 paragraphs at 8 marks each will give you an A essay.
