GCSE History Summer 2024 student walkthrough videos
We are working with Harris Federation to create a series of pre-recorded student walkthrough videos to help your students prepare for this summer's exam series.
There will be one recording for each component, and in them we'll remind students about the structure and focus of each paper, the specific questions and what they are assessing, and we'll suggest some general revision tips as well.
Student walkthrough videos for GCSE History Paper 1 and Paper 2
You can now view the Paper 1 walkthrough videos for Section A Historic Environment and Section B Thematic Study, as well as the Paper 2 videos for the British Depth and Period Study.
