Exam tips
Paper format
- Duration
- 60 min for one subject / 130 min when taking two subjects
- Total marks
- 100
- Weighting
- 100%
- Question types
- Documents, maps, statistical sources, chronology, comparison and interpretation
- Group facts under processes such as state formation, religious spread, maritime trade, industrialization, nationalism and decolonization. This mirrors source questions better than isolated country lists.
- For every historical map, identify period, routes, borders, ecological zone and power centers. A trade-route map can test religion, disease, commodities and political control at once.
- Maintain parallel timelines for East Asia, South Asia, Islamic worlds, Europe, Africa and the Americas. Many items ask what was happening elsewhere at the same time.
Common mistakes
Chronology
Mixing up similar revolutions, reforms and nationalist movements across regions.
How to avoid: Attach each movement to date range, social base, ideology and foreign context.
Maps
Reading modern borders into premodern or early modern maps.
How to avoid: Use the map legend and period label; avoid assuming present-day state boundaries.
Comparison
Choosing an answer true for one region but false for the other.
How to avoid: Test every option against both cases before selecting.
