Chloë Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Hi, I just had my paper 3 but i think i misread a question i answered. I obviously can't tell the question yet but here is something similar: How did (name) do something between 2040-2050? In class we never did anything before 2050 so i assumed it would be what we had learned. Will this be a big problem and will I fail my paper 3 because of this? help please im desperate Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrodinger's CAS Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Do you mean 1940-1950? I would be quite concerned if your history class never studied anything before 1950. How well you do will depend on how well you attempted to answer the question. But there will be a mark cap if you didn't answer the question correctly, for example "if discussing periods other than 1940-1950, mark out of a max of 12". As long as you wrote a good essay, you won't fail if you didn't answer the question correctly. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you could mention other years, I never got told this Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To answer Vladimir's question, you can certainly mention other years, but those years can't be the focus. Years before are good for context and years after are good for effects, but the years given in the scope needs to be the substantial, body part of the essay. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
