Spog:
hey, how do you go about answering Q1) (a) (iii) in paper 4 history
just wanted a general idea thanks

tmisterr:
IGCSE Paper 4 is divided into two distinct sections - the first is source questions and the second is knowledge and understanding.

In the source questions, the usual format is:

i) 6-mark question on the first source. This is usually asking you what the source tells you about something. To get the best marks, you need to make at least a couple of inferences from the source and use evidence from the source to support your points.

ii) 7-mark question on the second source. This is often a "how far"-style question, which you should be used to from the 8-mark questions on Paper 1. This answer requires balance: you need to show ways the source does support the statement in the question (supported with evidence from the source), ways the source doesn't support the statement in the question (supported with evidence from the source) and then reach a conclusion judging "how far". 3 paragraphs overall would be appropriate here.

iii) 7-mark question comparing the two sources. In recent years this has been about how useful the sources are to find information on a given topic. Here you need to consider the content and the provenance of each source to determine their reliability. You should include examples from each source to support any point you make.
