This update contains news about our new Edexcel GCSE History Medicine in Britain knowledge booster tests which are now available online.
GCSE History Medicine in Britain knowledge booster tests now available
The new Edexcel GCSE History Medicine in Britain knowledge booster tests are now available on our website.
This set of quizzes are designed to support students with AO1 knowledge and understanding of the key features and characteristics of the periods studied. The quizzes use a variety of question types including short answer questions, true/false, matching exercises, ranking or ordering exercises, concept maps, completing tables, and selecting single or multiple answers from a list.
The questions are intended to be straightforward and to help lower-attaining students build up their confidence in this thematic study, as well as ensuring that higher-attaining students have a foundation of key knowledge in place. Their purpose is to help students embed knowledge and build confidence, and we hope that these quizzes will be accessible to a wide range of students.
You can find the Medicine knowledge booster tests below. You will need an Edexcel Online account for any padlocked files, and your Edexcel Online administrator at your centre will be able to help you should you have any problems with your account.
More knowledge booster tests
Don't forget that we also have knowledge booster tests available for Paper 3 Germany and Paper 2 Anglo-Saxon and Norman England, Elizabethan England, American West and Superpower Relations.
We hope you find these resources useful.
