    I can't learn anymore information but I doubt I even know enough at this point, how bad is this really?
    For D+D:
    -all about hitler
    -a bit about Stalin
    - reasons fascism grew in Europe

    For USA:
    -economy
    -civil rights movement and MLK

    For NI:
    -social welfare state
    -coleraine
    -cultural indentity
    -efforts to resolve the troubles

    Tbh I'd be very surprised if you don't get at least one question for each section.

    I know essentially the same for every section so hopefully they all come up!

    I know the three case studies too.

    Lads... The countdown is on...

    Do you think I could leave out Sunningdale for Northern Ireland? I've Coleraine, The Apprentice boys and the welfare state covered.

    Keeping on History has been my biggest regret of the LC.

    The course is just ridiculous in length and the exam is hell personified!

    When people say the know" this and that. Do you actually know are you able to recite off all the points perfectly or do you have an essay learned. I just have the headings learned off under sections of my notee. So for example, Hitler's Foreign Policy: 1933 withdrawal from LON, NAP with Poland 1935 etc etc etc will this be enough? I don't know the contents of each heading off by heart but I have a pretty good idea of what is in it? Am I doomed :(

    You are certainly not doomed. Learn the key headings, have a general idea of the storyline and waffle the rest, that's my motto 👏

    Its a shame so many students love for history is diminishing due to this harrowing course and exam, they need a complete overhaul on this subject

    Just wondering how much you need in this exam to pass if you did a good research topic? Not trying to slack or anything but have an awful stomach bug and will struggle to get anything done

    Assuming you got 75/100 in research topic you'll need another 125 marks

    There's no need for the course to be so huge even with an RSR, regret picking history so much

    Loved History at JC and got an A. Then at about January of 5th Year I regretted keeping it on. My overall points are going to suffer because of this subject.

    I love history but not this subject. I am taking risks not because I'm lazy or I want to but because there is literally no way to learn everything.

    It is very much possible to learn everything for a topic, via notes or revision book, but you end up losing finer details in everything which will leave you writing very little per essay. So you either learn a lot on a little or learn a little on a lot.
