[altox876]

I am giving the questions on Germany, China and Russian Revolution.

 

[passion hunter]

i have prepared the the whole first section,everything except british and french history in section 2,prepared cuba,great depression,civil rights,mccarthyism and watergate and foreign relations in section 3 .....left the whole section of soviet union and eastern europe....and currently preparing middle east and japan....

 

[altox876]

My plan is to do 3 questions from Sec A and the last 2 from Section B(Germany) and F(China). I have also prepared Italy, Middle East and Russian revolution for safety

 

[passion hunter]

yeah i'm aiming for the same thing....3 questions from sec A or even 2...and the rest from the other sections....

Which book are you using?

 

[passion hunter]

mastering modern world history plus internet...wbu?

 

[RoaringInferno]

Just Norman Lowe...No internet. Mastering Modern World History is too detailed as it is xD How have you prepared so many topics? Do you learn them by heart, or just give the text a thorough reading?
I'm curious because the prep has been crazy so far. Done with nothing but Section A.
I'm hoping...
Section A: Paris Peace Conferences, League of Nations, World War 2, 1920s-1930s politics (yeah pretty much what I've done so far -.-
Section B: Mussolini and Hitler (kinda sorta done with this. Used Lett's revision guide for it.)
Section F: Mao before and after the war, Events leading upto India and Pakistan's partition (China-not done. Subcontinent-Oh yeah B|)
I'm doomed, right?

That can be prepared within 5 hours
practice more past papers ..don't worry ..I bet these r the easiest topics
If u give 3 questions from sec A and 2 from any another 2 secs it will be easier
That's how I've been doing

That's also exactly what I'm doing. And yes, these are very easy topics. Which is precisely why I've singled them out for preparation. But, alas, I'm a perfectionist by nature (and nurture ). I won't be content until I can answer a random question with perfection. So I spend endless hours trying to cram all the info in -.-
5 hours...yes. Only if you've prepared for them beforehand. I so wish I'd done that.
Any advice on how to proceed? I'm done with Section A. Now on fascist Italy and Germany.

Giving exam in Lahore?

Why don't u try noting down what u read instead of cramming all the info :/ I prepared all the sections but strongest in sec a ,c,d,f
Make notes...u will finish in just 5 hours if u do it with full focus..trust me

 

[RoaringInferno]

Karachi.
Yes, I've been doing that. It's actually a lot faster than memorizing the entire text.
Hope I'm done with this stuff soon. I can't stand the look of Norman Lowe's pages anymore -.-

It is a useful book, yes. I'm just tired of history, that's all.
Thanks for the help, hellcat. Hope you do well on your exams.
