This resource contains over 40 PAPER 4 STYLE QUESTIONS for the Cambridge History IGCSE Paper 4 Germany depth study for the 2025 June examination.
By practicing the exam technique using these paper 4 style quetions (in conjunction with the Paper 4 masterclass and model answers linked below) our 2024 cohort of 90 students averaged an A grade on this paper, with one student gaining 40/40!
The quesiton bank includes both part a and part b questions divided into the following four areas outlined in the Cambridge IGCSE Specification for the Germany depth study:
Was Germany doomed to fail from the start?
Why was Hitler able to dominate Germany by 1934?
How effectively did the Nazis control Germany 1933-45?
What was it like to live in Nazi Germany?
All materials included in this bundle have been produced following the completion of the New 2024 IGCSE training course delivered by Cambridge International Examinations for the 2024 and onwards specification.
Some ways in which I have used them include:
Using Part As as a snappy starter to get students to recap key content quickly.
Using Part Bs as a evaluation task after examining or revising a section of the key content, for longer practice at extended analytical writing - either as a main task, a weekly homework or revision task for Year 11. If you’re short on time, they’re also great for drafting essay plans to get students used to carving out those 5 minutes in the real exam to organise their themes and main line of argument.
Selecting a set of 2 for a ready made Papeer 4 assessment without the hassle of trawling through past exam papers! There’s enough here to see you through the two year course and more!
This resource is best used in conjunction with the New IGCSE History Paper 4 Exam Technique Masterclass (CIE 0470).

A complete 40 page revision guide covering every inch of 1920s America. This guide is perfect for **streamling and consolidating **the content of the 1920s for any KS4 students studying History at GCSE or IGCSE level.
Most of my students love History. Many of them, however, say they struggle to remember the vast amounts of content and nitty gritty details of every topic. Even more say they struggle to know how to revise when they’re on their own.
This 40 page revision guide and activity booklet was designed last year with them in mind, as a way to streamline the content of their US depth study and provide them with stimulating and challenging review tasks throughout to make their revision active, rather than passive, and in doing so maximise understanding and recall!
This booklet contains full summaries of the key causes, features, events and consequences of the economic boom on US society, and examines the political, economic and social facets of each of these. In particular, my students found the breakdowns of key concepts into mnemonics, flow charts, fact files and colourful mindmaps extremely helpful in chunking the course content into easily digestible pieces and linking different aspects together.
Alongside these accessible and engaging explanations are numerous revision activites such as: challenge grids, knowledge organisers, diamond 9s, gap fills, scaffolded exam questions, model answers, colour codes, source analyses and many more.
This booklet covers the 1920s and social change only. Part two, covering the bust of the 1930s and attempted recovery during Hoover, FDR and WWI will be available soon!
