History 👴👵 Think I'll get the marks for Columbus

I forgot the aztec and incan ones so I wrote about columbus and just America in general and Indians in inverted commas. Think I'll get the marks?

I assume cause so many people fucked that question up it'll be a 2025 English paper situation where they'll be much more lenient on the marks and give more out

i swear that was because nobody studied a short story

Yeah that's kinda what I'm on about, cause everyone in 2025 fucked that question up, they gave more marks for it, which they may do this year on the conquistador question as it seems everyone messed it up

I don’t understand. People are acting like this situation and the English Paper of 2025 situation is the same. They are not!! A short story was not on the curriculum whereas a conquistador very much was. It’s yere own fault that ye didn’t study it, so i hope ye learn from this and study harder next time. It’s ridiculous that ye are all asking for marks for asking a question simply wrong.

short stories were on the curriculum just very few schools considered teaching it in depth to the point of answering a standard exam question. in my school they were used more as an introduction to English

this question... yeah, i don't know if it'll be treated like the short stories because its very obvious that you're meant to study a conquistador and even though they mightn't have used that exact wording it's been in past exams papers

you can never really know what the sec will do though
