SOURCE-BASED STUDY The topic for the source-based study is prescribed. Candidates are expected to have a sound knowledge of the prescribed topic and an acquaintance with the kinds of sources available. The question will be based on sources that might be used by historians in building up an account of the period or topic. Both primary and secondary sources could be used for the source-based study. Candidates will be expected to have an understanding of the ways in which these sources may be evaluated. A maximum of five sources will be set for the source-based study. Differing accounts of the same situations or accounts from the same source may be set. These accounts may show different views as time progresses or in communicating with different recipients. A variety of sources may be used,

for example, documentary, statistical, visual and maps. The sources set will usually total no more than 800 words (or their equivalent where non-textual sources are used). The question poses candidates with an assertion which they need to test against given sources and their background knowledge of issues. ESSAY QUESTIONS Essay questions will not be set on the subject matter selected for source-based study. Candidates’ answers should be focused and show depth of historical understanding and evidence of reading. In addition, the answers should demonstrate a high level of conceptual ability and an evaluation of the assumptions implied in the question. Candidates are required to answer in continuous prose and the quality of language used by the candidate in presenting the argument would be taken into account.
