AQA GCSE History Generic Mark Scheme

A generic mark scheme for paper one and paper two of the AQA GCSE History 8145 course.

The generic mark schemes were created based on available resources i.e., mark schemes and using my professional knowledge and judgement that is based on years of experience as a Senior Examiner for AQA, collaboration with colleagues who have marked different units for the course and attending AQA CPD that specifically focused on developing a deep understanding of the new AQA 8145 GCSE History specification.
