kingdomx Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Oxford IB 20th Century History, that is really good, it covers 7 of the 12 topics for SL, I think, anyway, our school uses it.Doing background reading, always helps improve a person's a ability in History, if you don't enjoy reading so much, then try using any online interactive sites, or something to do with learning. But, I supposed you don't mind reading, hence the urge to buy a textbook for the subject.I think that overall, it is easy to get a 5 or 6/7 in history. Is this your first or second year in History? Because if it's your first, getting a 4 is perfectly fine. Your essay writing in History gradually builds up over the two years to become excellent, so in the first year you are still learning, the second year is where you will definitely see yourself improving grade and intellectually-wise, so don't be too stressed about getting 4s now. Next year will be better. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm now more relieved because i took a look at the 2010 grade boundaries and what I score in P1 & P2 equals to a 5. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Center Field Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 (edited) Good Luck on your exams! I would consider just reviewing all your notes and taking even more practice tests!Maybe read up on the topics for an extra edge. And also, make sure you are grounded in historiography!Try comparing sources and coming up with opinions on stuff based on your findings.I know this may sound really corny but just sit and think about what you have learned in your studies, and mentally review it. Furthermore, if you really have troubles, make historical significance diagrams that detail causes and affects Edited August 9, 2010 by Center Field Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
