关于O-Level历史​的备考，这些技巧你不得不知！

　　OLevel考试课程众多，其中历史课程也是不少学生都喜欢的，尤其是近年来，受到了大家的欢迎，但是在备考的过程中，大家也会发现历史学习并没有那么容易，本文就为大家介绍关于O-Level历史的复习技巧！

　　第一部分：SBQ (材料阅读)

　　1, ALWAYS address the overarching question at the start of the sources

　　2.同主题的整套SBQ对比分析：

　　很多SBQ题换汤不换药，用类似的sources，也需要类似的套路去分析。所以如果手头资料有限，可以把关于同一个topic的所有的sources放在一起，然后把题也放在一起，看这套题的问题如果放在另外一套source的背景下怎么回答。非常有用的sourceanalysis练习!

　　3.整理standard phrasing：

　　(a)对于inference questions (what can youlearn from the source/ what is the message/purpuse of the source):

　　通常答案有一个固定的架构：

　　I. Provenance(determines the slant and perspective)+ command verb (to convince, criticise,condemn, justify, credit, praise, discredit, mock...)

　　II. +Audience(congress, government, public),

　　III. + Message(eg, North Korea started the war/Stalin’s five year plan brough negative socialimpacts etc).

　　(b)要准确掌握message或者SBQ的考点 ingeneral:

　　强烈推荐整理总结SBQ章节的contentious point, (eg, Who was the winner in the CubanMissile crisis and who was responsible for starting the crisis; who started theKorean war; was the Nazi rule beneficial/harmful in various aspects in German;Was Stalin’s rule beneficial/harmful in various aspects in Soviet Union)

　　然后整理相关的课本evidence来support each side ofthe argument.

　　这个可以帮助你迅速认清source的出发点和argument并且用正确的课内知识back up

　　***对于essay section也超级有用!

　　Example 1: Korean War Perspectives

　　Analysis 1:Who started it? (Which player?)

　　首先要搞清楚Korean War的主要参与者(player)：North Korea (DPRK), South Korea (ROK), USA, USSR,China (PRC)

　　不同的player对这个问题有不同的perspective：DPRK blamed ROK; ROK, USA blamed DPRK; …

　　需要大概了解support 这些不同perspective不同claim的理由：

　　(a)ROK blamed DPRK: DPRK initiated/triggered the warby invading ROK in June 1950; (*motivation: national unification under Kim’scommunist banner and authority; personal ambition and power)

　　(b) PRC’s part in the start of the war: enabler—thoughnot direct causation(PRC did not initiate or provide the impetuses forthe war), it certainlyprovidedsupport for DPRK. (* extra knowledge: DPRK soldiers gainedexperience fighting alongside the Chinese against the Japanese as well asChiang Kai-Shek’s Kuomingtang forces during the Chinese Civil War.)

　　(c)USSR’s role: giving acquiescenceto Kim Il Sung’s request to invade the South, despite being reluctant initially(Kim asked thrice before Stalin permitted). Also providedmilitary supplies(expertise, weaponsetc) to DPRK in the lead-up to the offensive.

　　(d) ROK: no directcausality. Did notinitiate or trigger the war (being invaded by DPRK instead—a historical fact/contextual knowledge toprove DPRK’s claim that ROK started the war unreliable). ***(extra)However,had theintention to start the war (Syngman Rhee asked USA for permissionbut was refused) and Rhee’s intention/desire to unify the Korea peninsula underhis government had responsibility in determining themotivations for War (i.e. unification).

　　(e)USA: no intention and thusno direct responsibility for starting the war, because USA waswary of provoking Soviet response (possible nuclear confrontation)

　　第二部分：SEQ; Essay

　　(小作文)

　　You win the time, youwin the game——手速很重要!一定要争取写完!

　　1. 不要背书然后反刍

　　一定要分析清楚题目!看标准答案或找老师consult，把题目按(a) topicand (b)command word分类，找到题目的规律，才能提高答题效率，每一句话都回答问题。

　　2. 自己总结evaluation (那种argumentative essay最后辩证分析的段落，可以自己写然后找老师改, 或者用现有标准答案里写的好的，使你的文章脱颖而出)然后背下来，考试的时候才能下笔如有神。

　　3. (with caution)听老师的押题建议/看其他学校prelim的出题trend总结出出题高频chapters，多准备一下出题概率高chapters。
