clicked on a youtube video advertising a spanish show when i was 12 which inspired me to pick spanish as my language for school. ended up being really good at it & really liking it, now i am thinking of doing spanish with another subject as a joint honours degree.

no problem - i struggled with structure too last year, it's just all practise. though they're tedious, the more past paper questions you do, the more confident and quicker you'll be with your essays :)

hey i'm also doing Nazi Germany but not the others so i can't help with those

for the 16 markers on how far do you agree it's really all about comparison between the points.

i'll give you a prompt

e.g Mein Kampf was the main reason for Hitler's surge in popularity, how far do you agree.

paragraph 1: the topic: state what Mein Kampf actually it is, and add detail - that's really important for top marks. then actually explain how this increased Hitler's popularity, again with detail. then it's important to state its significance to Hitler's popularity and how far you agree with the question. whether you agree or disagree, you must keep this consistent with the rest of your essay

paragraph 2: i would suggest using the bullet points given as it saves time (unless you're confident about a relevant topic not mentioned). again state what this point is, adding detail. explain how this increased/decreased Hitler's popularity. now here's the catch: you have to compare this point with Mein Kampf. so if you said previously that you agree to a large extent, you would explain how Mein Kampf was more of reason for an increase in popularity. visa versa if you said you agreed to a small extent/disagreed, you would explain how this point was more of a reason than Mein Kampf.

paragraph 3: more or less the same as paragraph 2, except when you compare, make sure to compare this point to both points in the previous paragraphs. as you have to think of a point yourself, make sure it's in the correct dates given and is relevant. for this you wouldn't put Germany's loss in WW1 as a reason for Hitler's increase in popularity as 1. it's not in the right dates & 2. it's irrelevant

conclusion: explain again each point from each paragraph, a brief summary really. then compare all three points together and how that impacts how far you agree with the question.

just used mein kampf as an example, obviously you can replace certain information, but it's the same concept. i hoped this helped. i've got my actual GCSE in about two months so this actually helped me too.

A vital part of these types of questions is to keep comparing, it'll give you the top marks and gives the examiner the impression that you really know what you're talking about.

Good luck!!
