Thanks bro, Feeling a lot better for Russia and Core then I did for the Trial, everyone seems to have the same good ideas for that 15 marker so glad to see im not alone in my thoughts haha
Likewise! Im more pissed that out of all the hours I spent studying Russia over the last week, It ends up being one of my least favourite points that I spent like an hour on 😭 but oh well at least I did well I reckon
Literally was so prepared to talk about the 1936 zinoviev kamanev and 1938 bukharin and rykov trial 😢 even studied the 1937 army one because I wanted to cover everything
All I knew was like year zero haha and some stats around operation menu and bombing, I did the league of nations for my thing last year, thankfully that ended up being soooooo (not) useful for the core section :hammer:
Thankfully I went over my power struggle essay because a few people mentioned the possibility I even taught it to a few of my friends a few hours before the exam, I was severely doubting I'd need it because I was like 1000% sure I had predicted it, but I was so so wrong for literally everything...
Yeah I was hoping to be able to do a cool response with something to do with Cambodia if it was impact of the war or reasons for communist victory. But ig Nesa had other ideas hahaha
That was me for Russia haha, I just knew nothing about the show trials for the CSSA trial which is what brought my essay down 😢 came in today so prepared for political transformation just for it to be the same as last year lmao
That seems very solid, I honestly neglected anti-war study because I did not anticipate a whole Q on it, and since they asked Tet and US withdrawal the previous two years I figured I wouldn't need it. I also couldn't think of a clear structure in time during the reading time
Thought about...
Honestly I had no expectations for Core, I absolutely fumbled it in the trial, same with russia 😔 Thankfully I was carried by the CRM and indochina. But I just went in there and my plan was to just reference the source and answer the question hahahaha
What was your structure for Indo? I was so sure it was gonna be PESM developments up to 1964 😭 I ended up doing
- Geneva convention
- US foreign policy
- Nationalism vs Communism
