MORE THAN A REVISION BOOK
Don't just read the answer. Try to remember it.
Most students revise by rereading notes and highlighting them. It feels productive, but research on study techniques rates rereading and highlighting among the least effective methods, and self-testing among the most effective.
This guide is built around active recall and self-testing. Students learn the material, try to retrieve it from memory, check their answer, then practise using that knowledge the way the exam asks them to.
- 32 interactive flashcards
- Quick Match self-testing games
- Interactive timeline
- Test-yourself questions
- Five worked exam answers
- Examiner-style commentary
- Progress tracking
BUILT AROUND THE EXAM
Knowing the history is only half the job.
Plenty of students know the Crusades well and still lose marks, because the paper tests how they use what they know. Component 1E is one hour and five questions, and the guide connects the content to each of them.
Eduqas examiners' reports repeatedly flag the same habit: generic, learnt-by-heart comments in place of a real answer. The five worked answers, with examiner-style commentary, show what a specific, developed response looks like and why it earns its marks.
Q1
Describe an event or feature
Q2
Explain the purpose of a source
Q3
Compare interpretations
Q4
Judge which source is more useful
Q5
Evaluate a historian's interpretation
