I've got my paper 2 in a couple of weeks and this is a lifesaver?? For questions like this, within a very short time frame, what would you do if you didn't have such specific dates eg. you used the example of August 1847?? I've learnt a lot of dates but the textbook that I used for them generally just uses the year so I'd be repeating 1846, 1847 over and over.
