These models are fantastic for demonstrating excellent source skills in a tangible way and providing a benchmark for students to aim towards. Buying them in this bundle not only saves you money but countless precious hours writing exam responses from scratch!
Sometimes students struggle to understand instructions such as ‘more devloped explanation needed’ or ‘more nuanced evlauation/analysis needed’ but with a full mark answer to lay alongside their own responses they can see more clearly where they are excelling and what they are missing out / not developing! In a pupil voice conducted at the end of last year - students were unanimous in their feedback that the model answers alongside the exam technique masterclasses were the greatest help in developing their written exam skills!
My last exam cohort of 91 students gained an average A grade overall at IGCSE, with 91% achieving an A*-A. Paper 2 was their strongest paper.
How can I use these resources?
This resources can be used as a preparation lesson in advance of a mock exam or even for the mock exam itself since the exam paper is formatted to replicate the real 2025 IGCSE exam.

The Paper 4 was new to all of us last year so I was thrilled when numerous students in my class gained over 35/40, with one student gaining 40/40. This booklet and my paper 4 masterclass were the two things students cited as most helpful in their pupil voice reflections after the exam.

Please note the content specific elements of these resources are focused on the USA Depth Study although the principles of exam technique and the New Paper 4 are applicable to all doing the 20204 CIE (0470) examination. Resources are fully adaptable and customisable to suit individual teacher and class needs.
I understand that quality is of the greatest importance when imparting important History content and skills to your students, particularly if you’re paying for it! If you’d like to see an example of my work before you part with your hard earned money, please feel free to download my FREE PAPER 2 MASTERCLASS to give you an indication of the top quality resources we produce (with more coming soon!)
As a new TES author doing my best to provide the highest quality History teaching materials, I would be so grateful for a review if you found these resources helpful!
