For Personality...What did they mean by factors...do they mean like personal factors e.g. leadership, perseverance?

I thought it was pretty good to be honest. Questions were relatively straight-forward - hopefully looking for about 90 raw

I completely stuffed up the exam. I went way overtime with the Section I extended responses, thus leading to reduced time for the other sections. I was only left with 40 minutes to do the last 2 sections :(

I stopped writing 13 minutes before the end, and I couldn't be jamcottoned adding any more content to anything. Saying that, the lowest possible score I'll get is 88/100.

I did USA for national, which I absolutely aced (no question there would be a new deal question) so 24-25, Gorbachev for personality, which I'll get 23-25 for. The personality question was interesting this year. Whether the personalities effects were positive for the time? Extremely simple to tie into a pre-prepared essay [not that I did that, don't have the memory]. I also did Cold War for section 4, which was my worst. Hopefully 20+ but doubtful- both questions were tough for me, I chose 'account for the formation of the detente' or something. While I deeply studied and thus gave a lot of content on the Prague Spring, I don't really feel I had enough on exactly why it came to the fore.

heyyy lyk what did you mean by lyk jamcotonned? haha didnt reallly get that <3

I'm feeling good for a high Band 5. I felt it was very easy. Germany and Conflict in Europe were great questions.
