This revision guide gives you an insight into Sample Answers for GCSE History, Edexcel, that will earn you the highest marks. It will also teach you how to break down questions so you fully understand how to answer them and check for yourself if you have fully comprehended and addressed all the demands of the question. It covers different Edexcel History papers and attempts to cover all papers. There are also lesson plans for teachers and revision guides/ questions and answers for students to practise on their own. In addition, it will explore what examiners will be looking for in each question and it addresses many different past papers and mark schemes and what those mark schemes mean. The first booklet/guide will consist of Past Papers and Mark Schemes only. These are accessible to any teacher or student on the Edexcel website but I have put them here for easy accessibility in one place. The second booklet will then be a follow up to the question papers and this will explain the chosen questions, how to answer them as well as explain the mark schemes and show possible sample answers.
