You will be given a choice between two questions. Choose only one. The question may be about one period, or go across more than one period. This question asks you to make a judgement supported by well chosen evidence.

Examples:

• ‘The most important factor pushing people to migrate to Britain since 1945 has been the availability of work.’ How far do you agree with this statement? Give reasons for your answer.
• How far do you agree that Britain has generally been welcoming to people arriving as refugees? Give reasons for your answer.
• ‘The impact of immigration on England between 1750 and 1900 was positive.’ How far do you agree with this statement? Give reasons for your answer.

Tips:

• It is very important to give enough time to this question. It carries the most marks.
• To answer this question you need to analyse evidence that both agrees and disagrees with the statement. You then need to add a well-substantiated conclusion. You are expected to show wide-ranging knowledge to answer this question. Keep linking back to the question by using the keywords.
• Use clear paragraphs to ensure the structure of your answer is formal as this is important too.
