OK.
The first thing to realise is that all is not yet lost; you STILL have time to do something about this.

Let's look at the task first...

According to the specification:

Quote

Paper 3 1½ hours - 25 % of the total marks 60 marks
Paper 3 is offered as an alternative for centres who do not wish to
complete coursework or for private candidates. It will test exactly the
same objectives as those for coursework. This paper will be in two
sections, A and B. Candidates must study one option from each of
Sections A and B and answer one question from each section.

Section A on British History will test Objectives 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 and
will contain one question on each of the options, A to C, specified in
the subject content on pages 24-26.
Each question will be in three parts and will include two sources. The
third part of each question will require a more extended response and
will include “either/or” alternatives.

Section B on World History will test Objectives 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 and
will contain one question on each of the options, D to F, specified in
the subject content on pages 27-29.
Each question will be in four parts and will include three or four
sources. The fourth part of each question will test Objective 6.1 and
will include “either/or” alternatives.

The options are as follows:
Section A: British History
Option A: The changing role and status of women in Britain since
1900
Option B: Britain and Ireland since 1916
Option C: Britain’s changing role in the world since 1956
Section B: World History
Option D: Vietnam Since 1939
Option E: The Arab Israeli Conflict
Option F: Race Relations in the USA Post 1945

I take it that you're doing options C and E.

Accoeding to the specification, THIS is what you ought to/need to know about:

Like yourself, I am not aware of any specific revision materials on the web.

One thing you can start to do is to learn to spell words like 'Falklands' and 'Israel' correctly.

Miss Buxton has helpfully identified some web-links which will help you get to know something about Britain's changing role in the world since 1956. Thank you so much Miss Buxton.

And there is a helpful wikipedia article on the Arab-Israeli conflict which you can read here.

Other than that, I advise you to get into school early on Monday, and ask your teacher if he has any textbooks/revision notes you can have.
One morning of hard work will mean that you can make a fair showing in the exam.

Now, if you go through Miss Buxton's stuff and the wikipedia article on the Arab-Israeli conflist and learn it all and still have some time this weekend, get back to us and we will find you someing else meaningful to do for your revision.
But in the meantime, I advise you very strongly to provide yourself with a basic factual knowledge of the events using the links suggested.
