Edexcel GCSE History - Past Questions This is a document in which I have succinctly collated all of the past questions from 2018-2024 on to one page overviews for the following options (as well as some predictions for 2025): Paper 1: The Western Front and Medicine Paper 2: Early Elizabethan England Paper 2: American West Paper 3: Weimar and Nazi Germany I have found that my students find this document really useful when it comes to understanding the different types of questions they could be asked, in a simple ‘overview’ format, rather than having to go through every single exam paper individually. I have made note of the recent changes by Edexcel within the document, such as considering the extra time now available and the changes to some of the questions, so that students are aware of how their exam will be slightly different to previous years.
