As I cut a lot of corners while studying, I'm just hoping I revised the right content. If I did, I'd be golden, if not..well , I'm just hoping for the best.
How did you structure the leadership struggle one? I know the events and reasons stalin won the struggle but is it structure by reasons or stages of events?
If It was in relation to totalitarianism, would it be irrelevant to mention other contributions to Stalin's totalitarian regime, such as cult of personality etc , if the question focuses on the terror aspect alone?
I'm like you and a slow writer, so I just focus on the main points most relating to the question and elaborate on those. This hasn't stopped me from getting good marks at any time, so If you cant include everything , I'm sure you can still get high marks.
If an essay question were to come up in the exam about this topic dot-point , would It be more focused on terror in Stalin's leadership period alone , or terror in the communist party covering Lenin's leadership of the Bolsheviks as well?
Well, I haven't exactly studies foreign policy but I have studied the rest of Russia and I'm pretty sure that Collectivisation and industrialisation are stalin's economic policies and War communism and NEP are the Bolsheviks economic policies.
Yeah, I have a feeling they'll be sadistic and repeat..something..
I'm really hoping for role of queens, so straight forward. What do you think of skipping the external section of NKE and focusing on the earlier section? Stupid idea? Because there will be a question for both sections, and well...
I was in the same boat as you. History is also my best subject and I consistently came 2nd, and always by a few marks only. Oh , the frustration! Anyways, my point is, for my overall internal rank, thanks to my collective assignments/trials and the 1st ranked person screwing up the trial exam...
