Hello.
The AQA exam that i am sitting tomorrow includes the Vietnam topic and the Womens Status in the 1900s topic.
I'm reasonably confident on Vietnam, but i know practically nothing about Womens Status.
What exactly do i need to know about it? Any information at all would be amazing!

First of all, you are not necessarily going to fail.
There is PLENTY of time to get your head around the topic.
First, let's establish what you ned to know about., This is what the specification says:
There is a very simple overview here, something on the History Learning site and on the Spartacus website.
There is a factual account here, and another simple overview article here.
http://www.bbc.co.uk...line/1910.shtml is a timeline about womens history (general issues) that should be of use.
You will also benefit from reading EITHER these bitesize revision pages OR this and the following two pages on my website, both about the women's Suffrage movement 1900-1918.
And for legislative changes this pdf covers everything you need to know.
Meanwhile, there are a couple of youtube videos here and here which you can use as a memory prompt; though some the content is American, the issues are the same.
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 all the stuff above 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.
