GCSE HistoryIn Year 11, students will be expected to revise for tests and timed essays. In the first term, students will be mainly focusing on their controlled assessment which is worth 25% of the final grade. Although most of this takes place in exam conditions at school, students can also research this topic for homework. There are suggested resources and websites on the resources sheet. Students will also have one revision lesson per fortnight and will be revising the American West in the first term. They will be set revision tasks as well as past paper questions. In the second term they will be revising Medicine through Time. Students can also improve their knowledge and skills by regular revision and reading. We suggest that students use active revision strategies such as mind maps and bullet point notes.Below is a full list of the topics examined in the summer examinations.
