End of Unit Test - Monday 18th January
There will be four sections to the end of unit test.
Section A - Factual recall. [10 marks]
These ten questions will require short - even one-word - answers that test your knowledge of the unit. Facts mean names, dates, places etc. FAQ: Does this mean you have to learn all the dates? No... but all the answers expected here are things you should know: names of presidents, New Deal agencies, laws passed, etc. You will good factual knowledge throughout all sections of this test, so here is a comprehensive 90 question quiz to help you.
Section B - Source contextualisation. [4]
This is very much like what you will get in the oral exam. You will be provided with a contemporary source and you will ask to explain the source in the context of your wider knowledge of the period.
Section C - Description [6]
Here you will be expected to describe something from memory. For example, describe the main features of an institution you have studied or the causes or consequences of an event. Again a good description will include relevant factual material.
Section D - Explanation [10]
This question should be easy to predict because there are only a limited number of questions that you can be asked about. Look at the questions set in each of the lesson titles above! Obviously, this is a big question that requires you to make a number of big points, but each should be supported with detailed factual support.
