Good to know you're nice and prepared! :D
Im here 34 minutes before
On the morning of mine
bruv. no freaking jokes. tomorrow be the exam for reals and here I am
Mate, same.
Just as I was going to go to bed... Oh well, I see a long, long time ago video, I click
haha, me too, but people keep commenting and I feel obliged to respond! :D Good luck on Thursday :)
Omg you're almost at 3K subscrbers you've like doubled in size in a year that's great so happy for you!
@@Alonglongtimeago Err i really liked the part where i had to write about the past and the last question was kinda tricky but i got through it!
Ahh, good to hear! I bet you didn't drop a single mark!
One day before my mock. Absolute life saver. Thank you so much.
Aww thanks, pleased you found it helpful! Good luck with your mock!! :)
Nerd
Thank you SO much for this overview- feeling more calm about tomorrow's exam now!
Good to hear :) Hope it went well!
@@Alonglongtimeago Surprisingly, it did! The questions were difficult but I felt as though I answered them well :)
That's the best outcome of the lot when you nail difficult questions!
it’s 11pm and i have my paper 2 history paper first thing in the morning tomorrow😍 love it here
Same 😂
Also going for the 8/9 grade hopefully - A basic source analysis video would be amazing on Germany!
Completely agree!
I'll be doing a video like this one before the Germany exam as well, which will cover the basic stuff for source analysis. :)
@@Alonglongtimeago Okay nice, had the AW paper today were some brilliant questions nothing compared to what you had last year lol
I see an ad on your video and I approve you deserve all the ad revenue you can get :)
aww thanks :) I only hit the threshold to turn on adverts about a month ago, so I still haven't had my first payout yet. I'll be rich soon tho lol (and I'll probs use it to buy more GCSE history textbooks so I can cover more topics!)
Thank you, im also doing american west and was struggling on how to answer the narrative account question but this really helps.
Pleased you found my video useful! Good luck :)
My mock exam is next week and I'm also doing native America and anglo saxons/normans - thanks for the information because it helped me
lmao i went through all my spam accounts to like your vid, but ilyyy tyyyy, late but tyyyyy, also sis you're pretty
Haha, thanks :) Good to know everyone has a nice big collection of spam accounts!!! 😂
@@Alonglongtimeago dude i fully flunked half that exam, aced the other bahaha kill me, fort laramie came up again, but 1868, as well the exoduster movement affecting growth of settlement
Thanks a lot, you have really helped me with American West, could I suggest maybe doing elizabeth stuff if you can or nazi Germany
She's gonna get on to that but needs resources for one of those two subjects first.
I'll be doing a stream where I cover Weimar & Nazi German before the Paper 3 exam next week. :)
Amazing video really helpful thanks !!!
Happy to help :)
Have you done a paper 1 overview? I really need one… so far really helpful videos thank you so much!
Genuinely don't remember, if there's one on my channel then yes if not then not. Pleased you found it helpful though! :)
@@Alonglongtimeago ah I just asked my teacher about the exam board and he mentioned it’s OCR B :/ do you know any places I could look for revision on the ocr b paper?
my history exams are
• medicine in britain and the western front
• elizabethan england and the american west
•weimar and nazi germany
the first one went so damn well but i literally cannot remember anything for the last two
If you've nailed the first exam, you don't even need to remember anything about the other two topics tbh!! :)
I did Germany and Conflict & Tension
Thanks, you’ve really helped
Happy I could help :)
i should stop waiting until the day before my exam to start revising smh
dw my analytics tell me most people leave it until the day before so you're fine... hope it went well for you!
amazing recommendations-sure to follow
So helpful thanks🙏🏽
Pleased you liked it!
i wish i picked geography oh my gosh they have it so easy
history is more interesting though >:)
Got my history mock tommorow, so using this as last resort:)
Hope your mock went well :)
sky blue04 i do edexcel,but not henry v111-elizabeth and american west
Alice xo how did you do if you don’t mind a asking
Premiere the stream so we can see it coming
Impressive
They are separating the sections into two papers in one sitting this year so you are only given papers you need because last year many people did the Elizabethan questions instead of the tudor because it was really harsh
Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know :)
@@Alonglongtimeago Your welcome! It's not widely known my teacher only found out because she is an examiner and edexcel were not happy about it.
ha creds still go to u even tho ik I flopped cuz u basically brought me up from failing 😂😎
Awesome video yet again thnnxxxx!!!
and can i just say that ur advice is the best thing I have heard ina coupla yrs 😂👌
Haha, thanks! :) I just spotted your question in the chat replay - an importance question is 2 paragraphs per thing you're talking about (so 4 paragraphs for the full 16 marks)
@@Alonglongtimeago omg thnx :)
stupid me didnt even realise u were asking for me to repost the question 😭😂😎😎
but umm if u c this before 12 o clock today then pls pls answer my other Q:
for the narrative account is it 2 paragraphs or 3. Cuz if i do 2 paragraphs on the 2 points given im not including any of my own info, but if i do 3 paragraphs with another point then it doesnt work out with the number of marks. Or do i just do 3 paragraphs with 3 points anyway???!!?!
😭😂😎
thnxx
pls c this before isss TOOO LATTTEE 😔
@@jiddarjk6102 soz, I only saw it at 12:14 - too late. But yeah, it was 3 points with 3 paragraphs anyway! :)
@@Alonglongtimeago it doesntmatter anyway cuz i literally flopped that, i did 3 points still but i was lost with the question - it was about mormon migration btw 😔😂😎
Nevermind, you'll probably still have picked up a few marks anyway :)
Im in yr 10 and ive got my moc for paper 2 tomorrow and its on american west🙄(by far the worst history subject)but i just wanna say thanks for doing this u have helped me "revise"😂 we got shown ur video of johnson county war and I've helped alot thanks
Aww thanks :) Pleased you've found my videos useful. Ngl, American West is my least favourite of the topics too... Hope your exam tomorrow goes well!
@@Alonglongtimeago Thanks😂 dont get me wrong,i still enjoy american west but just not as much as Weimar germany and medican
@@EmilyY558 The beef bonanza can get a bit dry after a while! :D
@@Alonglongtimeago 😂so can ranching
@@Alonglongtimeago I'd like to give u another thanks as my history moc went fantastic, as i went on i kept replaying this video in my head and it helped so much with the narrative questions. so thanks again
thank you, saving lives!
Haha, I'm basically a doctor! :D
8:35 she meant chronolinks
Wait so for question 3 do you have to do 4 peel paragraphs for explain importance of
For narrative account I saw a "full mark" example but I wrote it out and it was 3 four-line paras which made up one side. Is that enough for the full 8 marks?
That probably is enough, but you may want to write a little bit more yourself, just to be sure! :)
@@Alonglongtimeago :) THANKS!
For the 16 mark question, do you need to conclude? So for example do you need to say "overall I think this one was the most important because..." or not bother?
Yes, you definitely do, and she says this in the video :)
@@evabailey6068 ohhh okay thanks so much I was having a crisis 😂💕
just like paper 1, i’m here the night before the exam :,)
same 😭 edit: omg nice jojo pfp and name
@@iba0232 i’m actually stressing because i’m trying to learn the entire king henry viii unit in like 30 mins 😭 and the maths paper tmr omg .. good luck tho ! (and ty, jojo is peak)
@@cultishh i was trying to learn the whole cold war topic today lol (my school does anglo saxons and cold war) i haven't even thought about maths whoops, good luck to you too!!!
how many marks in all the papers do u need to get a 4
I think it's around 50% but it's different depending on the exam option in think
You can find last year's grade boundaries online to give you a guide, but boundaries change slightly every year to try and compensate for a slightly easier or slightly more difficult paper. :)
@@Alonglongtimeago oh okay thank u xx
im doing american west which is alright but im also doing richard and john... which literally NO ONE is doing so theres hardly any videos on it ;(
aww I wish I could help... but I also didn't do Richard and John lol. Good luck on Thursday! :)
Im doing richard and john ! It sucks cause everyones doing elizabeth ugh but i do conflict in middle east and literally NO ONE does it lol
Could I ask what grades you got at GCSE?
You can - I'd be honoured to brag about it for you! 😁
History - 9
Geography - 9
English (lit & lang), maths, biology, chemistry - 8
Physics, music - 7
I want to be like you
A long, long time ago... how come you only have three options outside of English, maths and science? You seem smart enough for your school to permit you to take 4 considering you got such grades.
No one in our school got to take 4 (except if you did further maths or stats - which was done in like PE time and after school). Was kinda sad cuz I wanted to take art as well (I do it at A-level now though!!)
@@Alonglongtimeago that's pretty unfortunate, in my school most people got to take 4 unless you were struggling prior to year 10, and then they chose a couple people to do a 5th for further maths
20:49 Im watching this on the morning of my mocks 😂
Do you do a-level history
Of course :D
Can you do an aqa version or can someone link one?
You know more than me about how to answer AQA questions, so I'm afraid I can't help here :(
A long, long time ago... thats fine
I do AQA. Why am I here lol?
Because this is the place to be! :D (you can be an honoury edexceller)
Who else is doing superpowers and Anglo Saxons? :)
Im so screwed
Believe in yourself! :D
Here 2 hours before exam...
Here I am hours before the exam begins 😅
Good luck!! And if it's any reassurance to you I myself was up til 3 am last night finishing a powerpoint for uni 😅
Can you do a video on how to do a narrative question similarly to your 12 mark questions it would really help
I will do eventually, but I won't have time to make one before the exam :( If you have a questions about the narrative account though, you can ask them in the live chat on stream this evening :)
Thanks will tune in
less than a week till paper 2...
WOOO PAPER 2 LETS GO
That's the kind of enthusiasm we need!
@@Alonglongtimeago Do you think you'll be able to do a video on Weimar Germany next week? If not that's all good!
I have history today I’m so cooked
too real..
same thing
Same bro havent started revising yet
Hope the exam went well for you all in spite of the scepticism lol
NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD!

Jesus is Lord ✝️❤️ and he loves you so much
First! Ha
The flashcard factory strikes again in this video
Heck that was fast!
@@Alonglongtimeago I have a life, I swear. It's just taken up revising Spanish and History...
@@Francesco-ql3nv dw about pretending to have a life around me. I'm literally revising GCSE history and monitoring all the history exams even tho I did my exam last year!! Also, I laughed so hard when I saw the flashcard factory bit flash up!
@@Alonglongtimeago xD glad to know I'm a source of amusement. Great job on the video!
Hehe thanks:)
