Edexcel GCSE History - Exam Question Structures - Paper 1, Paper 2 and Paper 3. In this document I have broken down the techniques necessary to achieve full marks in every question of each of the Edexcel GCSE History exam papers. It is fully updated to reflect the most recent changes from Edexcel, ensuring compliance with the 2025 exams and beyond. I have found this to be useful as a classroom display when printed in poster form, as a great ‘first page’ in exercise books for students to refer to, and as a revision aid, whether in class when doing practise questions or for students to use when completing homework. My headings are set up for: Paper 1: The Western Front and Medicine Paper 2: Early Elizabethan England Paper 2: American West Paper 3: Weimar and Nazi Germany However, the document is fully and easily editable to quickly change each slide title/heading to the option that you study. This would be the only edit you would need to make as every paper has the same questions types, regardless of option choices. Thanks.
