Most of my exams will be quite easy to me, and for history, i have the technique and know how to answer depending on how the questions are worded. But i struggle to remember peoples' names, what they did and when, can you think of ways of helping to remember, such as pneumonics or rhymes??

Some people like Jenner, Pasteur and Fleming, i've been taught about many times, over many years, in history and science, so there names and what they did are embeded in my memory, but with other things i get confused.

Hippocrates the greek, the four humours, observe an illness before treating

Galen-the-Greek who went to rome, could only dissect animals and said humans were the same inside.

Vesalius from the renaissance who dissected stuff and proved that we are different to animals

Pare was a battlefield doctor who ran out of boiling oil to use on wounds, so used roman herbs and the soldiers survived. 'don't do something that doesn't work, just because its been done for hundreds of years, if there's a better remedy, use it!'

Harvey the 16th centuary doctor who discovered that blood pumps around the body

John snow realised that cholera was being spread from a certain water pump because a woman who lived near it didn't use it and never got cholera (or was it that she lvied a logn way away and she did get cholera and none of her neighbours did?)

Chadwick was from the industrial revolution time who wrote a report saying that if they improved the conditions for the poor people, their rich factory owner bosses would benefit aswell as they would have more fit and healthy workers.

Lister was a victorian doctor who discovered and promoted antiseptic surgery

Simpson gave chloroform to queen victoria, after which more people used it.

Molly, I doubt your credibility more and more and more. If you are 16 then so am I!!
Mind you you have checked your facts well regarding the edexel syllabus!!
Question Author
Checked my facts!!!!!!!!! i'm telling you what i've been taught, i copied that stuff in my question out of my history book.

What can i tell you to make you believe i'm a 16 year old?
Molly, sorry love but I am with LL on this one, while I have no doubt you seem a bright intelligent person, you do come over as rather 'old' for a 16 yr old, who always seems to be taking a swipe at your parents, this time for not being up early, last time it was the Mum makes me walk home from school sometimes in the rain and won't give me extra money for the increase in my bus fare, the time before, Dad only buys cheap grisly meat full of fat that we all have to eat on Sundays !
so forgive me if I can't grasp the fact that you are as you say 16, your header does come over as someone who is quite learned, yet these ones I have mentioned come over as a 'poor me'
I don't what to believe..LOL

Molly....don't take any notice.
Who cares who you are.
Even if you sent your birth certificate they would still never believe you.....why bother.
Interestingly enough, the only one they did believe, was a fake...mr Veritas.

Good luck.
^Sez who ?
I do......sqad.
ooooo.........that'll be definitive, then !
JTH...I just answered your question, it is up to you to decide the validity.
sqad I finished with I don't know what to believe, I couldn't give a flying fart how old or who Molly is tbh, and let's face not many 16yr olds frequent here?
that we are aware of anyway..lol
Oh, I realise that you believe its veracity, Sqad................
bobbi....I have personally been through this business of "who are you?" "Prove it" "yes you are" "no your not" and the bottom line is......who cares? and what difference does it make.
I find Molly quite entertaining, not vindictive and more pleasant, than many on here.
I know you have sqad and I would agree, she never takes offence and seems a good kid if she is that is..lol
it is only my humble opinion that perhaps stuff is copied and pasted, so what!, I am not knocking the girl at all, after all I could be a bloke
Bobbi???

LOL
bobbi........LOL....you mean like JACKthehat could be a woman.
stopppiittt now sqadlet..lol
I am a woman, Sqad.
Discomforting though that thought may be for you...........
and each to their own, live and let live is my motto !
Really......................????
