Jamie Dockery, history teacher at Tyndall College, Co Carlow and Studyclix subject expert, said it is an exam which “very much played the ‘greatest hits’.”
Ms Cashell said many students would have been well-prepared for this question and, thus, well-equipped to tackle the first three questions. However, the lack of a Hitler-specific question on the paper and the inclusion of a question about France between the wars might have limited some students’ options.
“While the question which asked how the US was affected by McCarthyism, the military-industrial complex and/or the anti-war movement would only have been tackled by the most confident of students, overall there was enough choice within the topic for the prepared student to achieve good marks,” he said.
