But isn't there 3 case studies for each topic in which 1 always comes up? If that's the case I'm covered I think

One year on the Pursuit of Sovereignty topic no case study appeared. Caused outrage among the students and teachers but nothing could be done because the SEC have never stated a rule saying one of the case studies will come up. However, I think the SEC will include a case study as I doubt they'd want any public outrage.

Absolutely ridiculous if one doesn't come up, if they're case studies that are hand picked to be learnt off surely they need to question us to see if we learned them. I'm going in here looking for a pass at this stage

Irish section was horrible, really vague question on pre civil war sinn fein and no case study. Ended up leaving it and focusing on Northern Ireland, Europe and the document (woo Katanga).

Northern Ireland I did Welfare state

Dictatorship and democracy I did Stalin

Intu

Guys please tell me 3-3/4 of a page is alrite for an A1 if there is a lot of detail
Any idea if talking about Coleraine in detail for the northern Ireland question about education would be ok?

Yeah Coleraine was part of education policy which had a huge impact on the development of NI, was part of what started the civil rights movement. I covered from Brookeborough up to Coleraine and then beginning of NICRA. Probably my best essay.

Land Agitation is stuff like the Land League, the Plan of Campaign, Agrarian Violence...

I was absolutely f*cking delighted!

Beautiful Home Rule Question, perfect economy essay and when I finally realised the Presidency essays were just a thinly veiled Berlin, Korea and Vietnam essay I nearly cried with happiness. All that and Katanga thrown in = orgasmic paper.

Moromaster

He asked me 'Higher or Ordinary', I felt sick when I took the Higher paper.

Then proceed to molest the paper until it declared itself mine. 5 Pages for Economic Challenges, 3.5 for Faulkner, and 7 for Fascist Regimes. Owned it!

There was no dates in the question so it should be OK. I wrote about Coleraine but mentioned how the Education Act increased 2nd level attendance hence 3rd level attendance so they built Coleraine to be able to meet the demand. Then I spoke about it's role in discrimination.

Aeternum

Found it to be a lovely paper did the impact on ww2 on ireland, development of housing, education and health on NI, and the q on stalin really happy that Katanga came up!

So by talking about land acts, I did the wrong question

Dropping No Eaves

What's the average length per question? I got 4 and a half done per Irish question, the 5 on Stalin and 2 on Contextualisation. Would this be enough? I would have thought so, but seeing as somebody wrote 7 pages for one...

SeanyboyQPR

Nah not at all, you couldn't get an essay out of that stuff alone, it was the successes of the agitation I think wasn't it? And sure the successes of the agitation was the acts

Oh thank god so basically if I had 1870 act, 1881 act, kilmainham treat, Balfour act, Ashbourne act, Wyndham act and birrel act, I should be ok

That couldn't have been a nicer paper really.. pursuit to sovereignty was never better.
