I'm going to miss it a lot.. I had such an incredible teacher, she really pulled me through this year with funny quips and super engaging teaching. I loved every second of being in that class. I honestly can't believe it's over just like that - the exam seemed so loveless and bureaucratic after all the memories and joy that class gave me.
Agreed

i did the communist party and disagreed w the question

like i argued it was only of moderate significance because the others were far greater

e.g while communist party did allow him to restructure w ideological loyalists, and therefore allowed for intensification of censorship and implentation on the 1938 short course of the history of b party
terror > because it allowed for the purge in the first place
censorship > ideological loyalty throughout society rather than js in the party

For anybody who did the Pacific Conflict option A what did you talk about I talked about pearl harbour, fall of dutch east indies and Japanese overextension in their defensive perimeter
I did this:
BP1: Pearl Harbour -> Start of the '6 months of glory'
BP2: Advance into SEA/Southern Pacfic -> Overextension and victory disease taking hold, leading to overconfidence
BP3: Coral Sea + Midway -> Loss at Midway significantly altered the course of the war
BP4: Guadal Canal + New Guinea -> Changed the course of the war irrevocably, fully ending the Japanese war and in the process turning the course of the pacifc war in the allies favour

and said the advance significanctly altered the course of the pacific war

The question directly tests the Japanese advance 1941–1942 and the impact of the fall of the Philippines, Singapore, Burma and the Dutch East Indies dot point so as long as you mentioned all four and discussed them in the essay you'll be ok

ok so it was just a bad question. i def shouldve studied that but that's alright
Sorry I'm seeing this so late I had to lock in for maths hahahha😭
100% bad question I've seen lots of people complain about it for such a valid reason!! It was such a niche piece of knowledge it almost felt like it should've been a multiple choice especially since there was only technically one right answer
Don't worry whatsoever I'm sure even modern teachers would agree it was a very odd question!

haha it was bad in terms of the source but it wasn’t like u had to analyse the source and it left it broad
the downside was that we studied everything for core but basically every question was just impact on life in nazi germany which is ez sure but yeah waste of study time
Yes that sucks💔 it's the WORSTTT when you lock in for an exam and have so much knowledge to show and the questions just don't allow you to demonstrate it
