Some questions don't even require REASONS.
For example, when you have to compare the three reformers, you just give an intro para, and one para to each three, and then a conclusion - Total 5 paragraphs!

But if you get a question like reasons for mughal decline, write 7 if you can.. But the most important thing is explaining each reason clearly and giving the conclusion in the end. Merely stating the reasons is not enough.

Personally, when i gave the paper, i didn't write more than 5 reasons for any 14 mark question. Still got an A*.

Some teachers say 5 reasons, some say 7. So just go with 7, to be on the safe side.

I know the answers very well....and in some questions I can even write more than 7 reasons...but i can never really finish my paper well on time....any good advice please?

any advice on how long a para should be in a 14 marks question?

14 mark question :

- simple statement ( 2 to 3 lines max )

- 1st reason + explain
-2nd reason + explain
- 3rd reason + explain

- conclusion + justify
2 sheets are enough for 14 mark question ..

Solve all the 4,7,14 mark questions before the paper. Time yourself.
Set a timer, and then try to write 2 pages for the 14 mark question in that given time.
If you know everything you are going to write, and when a question comes before you in the paper and you don't even have to think a minute - you just write like a machine, that's how you will complete the paper on time.

I always take 3-5 mins more....and that is way too much for each 25 mark question in history

Try to write faster then.
Handwriting doesn't matter. What matters is the points and reasons you put before them, as long as they are readable.

You may check their MS and ER as well ...

consider the failure of Khilafat movement!
withdrawal of congress
hijrat movement
abolishing of caliphate by Kamal Ataturk
no unity (Mohammad Ali Jinnah did not support)
differing objectives(Hindus and Muslims)
Imprisonment of prominent leaders(Mulana Mohammad Ali-Mulana shaukat Ali)

Which point goes where?

-explain the above 3 reasons in detail then with last reason write about the remaining reasons ( each in 1 to 2 lines )
Believe me you'll be getting 14/14 in this way plus there's not that much time to explain all 7

Take this eg: why Mughal empire declined ?
There were almost 8-9 reasons as far as I remember but explaining only 3-4 and highlighting rest of em would give full marks ..
It's clearly mentioned in their mark scheme as well .
