Hello everyone,

I need some help with Edexcel A2 History exam technique. More specifically, I'm struggling with the 40 mark source-based questions. The topic I'm studying is the English Civil War with the questions being in the following format:

Use Sources 7, 8 and 9 and your own knowledge.
‘Side-taking in 1642 was not determined by class.’
How far do you agree with this view?
Explain your answer, using Sources 7, 8 and 9 and your own knowledge of the issues related to this controversy.

Any help would be much appreciated!
