Year 12 Modern - Last Minute Exam Advice

I'm sure you'll all go great tomorrow, but just a final piece of advice...

When analysing sources in your exam (which you will do, as it is a source-based assessment) - make sure you refer to these three things:

1) Reliability - can we trust the source? Is it biased?

2) Usefulness - can we use the source? Does it give us good historical information? What information does it give us? Is it complete? What doesn't it tell us?

3) Perspective - whose opinion are we getting? Is it biased? Is it an official or unofficial perspective? Was it written at the time, or with the benefit of hindsight?
