A Ready-Made, Top-Quality Model Answer to Maximise Exam Success!
This resource provides a fully developed, exam response to a Paper 1, Section C question on the Collapse of the Soviet Union, helping students to understand the level of specific detail, nuanced analysis, and comprehensive structure required to get into the top mark band and achieve the highest available marks.
Question Covered:
Study extracts 1 and 2. In light of the different interpretations provided, how convincing do you find the view that the Soviet Union collapsed because of Gorbachev’s misjudgment of the seriousness of the ‘national question’?
This comprehensive, high-quality model answer provides students with a clear benchmark, demonstrating to students how to effectively incorporate:
- Comprehensive and accurate analysis of both extracts,
- Accurate interpretation, cross examination and combined evaluation of both extracts throughout the essay in a way that will leave the examiner in doubt that you have fully understood and answered the demands of the question.
- Precise historical knowledge and contextual understanding to support all major points and nuanced evaluation.
These model answers have been the thing my students cite as the most helpful resoures in improving their exam technique as it provides tangible, clear examples of what an outstanding extract interpretations essay looks like for Section C of the Paper 1 exam.
