Ooft!! That's some quality stuff!! Thanks for the upload
This is a goddamned incredible resource. Like honestly I'm so impressed right now.
No worries! I'm glad people like it :) It took me long enough to make haha so I'd like it to help as many people as possible so it doesn't go to waste.

This is very useful thank you. I just wanted to point out that I think some of your statistics may be wrong... but then again different textbooks say different things. I was wondering if you have a method for memorising quotes and historian names (its pretty hard to remember those).

Tbh I wouldn't be surprised hahaha a lot of this was written at about 3am, but the majority are defs accurate (based around 'Key Features of Modern History' by Bruce Dennett - a history god). In terms of memorising quotes and historians names, Jake's worksheet method is definitely A+ :) Don't worry too much about memorising quote though, it's a lot more important that you know the content well and understand the key issues and themes yourself rather than being able to parrot historians. In terms of memorising historians names just try and find a core group of historians to use rather than a plethora. This not only means that you probably know their positions back to front rather than just some random quote and makes it easier to memorise (just fyi though you're unlikely to lose a mark if you get the name wrong so don't stress :) )

My teacher basically bombarded us with stats for WWI and has continued with more during revision classes!
this is literally the best document for WWI, so helpful! thank you so so so much!
how do you choose the most important ones though?
I've also forgotten practically all of WW1 since doing so much WW2 its a distant memory sooo much study to do
any effective and efficient suggestions that work for modern regarding study???

For me, it wasn't really a case of choosing the most important ones. You never know what type of question you're gonna get, so though this may not be the answer you want to here, it comes down to learning as many as possible (which these worksheets cater too perfectly!). In terms of study, pretty much the only way I studied last year was doing practices responses open book! For WW1 that is super easy - the questions are literally syllabus dot points with a question at the end, so you can basically write them yourself easily, and cover all the syllabus dot points :)

Hope this helps!

Heyo! If anyone is studying Russia and the Soviet Union for the National Study, I have created a set of worksheets (similar in style to Jake's in the OP!). I made these for my tutoring students, but felt like, what the hell, you guys to deserve them too ;)

Hope they help!

(Side note: Please don't freak out if there is any information that you didn't know in these worksheets, as that is the point - expanding your detail beyond the textbook!)

Hey :) I uploaded this to the notes page, but I thought I'd put it here as well because it's pretty relevant haha.

Throughout the year I've been compiling a detail table, full of quotes and statistics, for WW1, Russia, Trotsky and the Cold War. It's organised by syllabus dot point, and helped me out a bunch during the trials so I thought I'd put it here in case it can help someone else out as well :)

These aren't content notes per say, but moreso interesting facts and statistics to impress the markers, and make it look like you really know your stuff.

Good luck! xx


These worksheets just saved my life in Modern!!!
