As a Head of History of five years and A Level History Teacher of eight years, I havr found that concise exam models and deliberate practice are the best way to help studentrs prepare in the final weeks before exams. These methods have enabled me to achieve consistently high progress scores at A Level. Here are two resources: A realistic Mock Exam for the Cold War unit, based on what could come up in the 2025 exam A set of slides with a range of topic summaries and exam models and deliberate practice My A Level students are unanimous that exam practice and concise summaries like these have helped them to prepare for their Cold war exam in these final weeks.

As a History Teacher of nine years and a Head of Department of five years, I have developed a range of strategies for helping students of all levels of prior attainment to be successful in their revision. In my last two years, revision strategies such as these worksheets have enabled my department to achieve high Progress 8 Scores in the last two academic years: +0.15 (2024) and +0.37 (2025). These condensed revision sheets enable students to consolidate their knowledge onto one or two pages per topic. They are based upon students using the AQA Elizabethan England c1568-1603 Revision Guide and helpfully provide page numbers to guide students. Every sheet has the same sections which gives students clear structure for:revision and filling in the sheet to learn and recap key knowledge: Key Words - always part-modelled, ensuring students learn and look out for the key words for each topic Fact Files - based on a key individual, event or historic site Sentence Match Ups - providing students with key facts and analysis which they simply match up: sentence start with sentence end Key factors, causes, events or consequences in the top right corner. These are dual coded with images to help make knowledge memorable Some worksheets have further space for analysis of key concepts in the bottom rights corner, while many have clear exam question models based on Question 1, Question 2 and Question 3 of the Elizabeth unit. These worksheets cover Parts 1-3 of Elizabethan England andhas some focus on Hardwick Hall for the 2025 exam, but does not have a specific Historic Enviroment worksheet. I am happy to answer any questions and to suggest different activities for using these worksheets.
