Paper 1 Exam Technique

As you are in the first year of a new course there are no past papers. However, your textbook is an excellent resource - use it to find a huge range of question papers, exemplar answers and advice. These are located in every chapter, with overall advice at the front.

Use your course notes to revise from - every lesson came with a note frame, print them off and use them as a book - your textbook is very content dense and therefore this is important to make revision manageable. You can check that you have everything / fill in any gaps by going to the course page by clicking here.

Your examination will either be on Rwanda or Kosovo. There is no way or predicting which will be picked each year. However, the paper will never be a comparison between the two. Make sure you download the Specimen Paper below so that you are aware of the format - you need to make sure you answer only the questions from 'Section 5: Conflict and Intervention'.
