KNOWLEDGE TEST - The Collapse of Soviet Control in Eastern Europe - CIE IGCSE History, KQ6

This resource comprises a 70 question knowledge test based on the key content of How secure was the USSRs control of Eastern Europe ?. Currently used as a fact test / team quiz / revision resource for my students studying CIE IGCSE for KQ6, I’ve also used it for the Edexcel IGCSE module on Superpower Tensions as well as for the British GCSE curriculum.

The test is broken down into the 7 sections outlined below and could be used all together as a single summative assessment, homework consolidation or a fun team based quiz at the end of the topic.

Alternatively the test could be delivered as 7 mini checkpoints throughout the course which is how I often use them to build knowledge. Additionally, they are great for a low stakes starter, plenary or homework task.

*Complete with a full answers document for every question, this is great for student self assessment too, minimising teacher workload and feedback time! *

Section A: Hungary, 1956
Section B: Czechoslovakia and the Prague Spring 1968
