Paper 1 – is worth 25 marks an overviewQuestion 1:

• Question 1:

This question tests comprehension of sources – it will ask you to state clearly what source is saying – do not use direct quotes only => otherwise, the examiner will never know you have actually understood. In this question, one mark = one point.Do not use dot points!Question 2:This question will ask you to examine the similarities, differences OR similarities AND differences between 2 or 3 sources. The wording changes + you need to work it out which it is asking you to do. Never deal with the sources separately! Always make sure you restrict yourself to discussion of the specific issue it asks you to.

• Question 3:This question asks you to be an historian => you must discuss origin + purpose in the first sentence + you must deal with each source separately – never use the word both in this question.The value + limitation of the source must be analyzed with reference to its origin + purpose => context is not an issueQuestion 4: · Q4 is an essay + you must make an argument in response to the question · You must also use both material from the sources and your own knowledge => always note when you areusing material from sources. It’s all about how USEFUL the sources are as historical documents.
