Stephen says: "Students would have started this paper with a positive mindset as the much-anticipated Stalin's show trials made their appearance in Section 1: Documents-Based Question. The questions, particularly 2 and 3, were straightforward. This meant that students would be feeling secure as they ventured into Section 2: Ireland."
Key takeaways
- Students that focused purely on case students will be challenged by trickier questions that needed them to add greater context.
- Those who prepared a broad range of topics will find some very manageable questions.
