This (7+ page) timeline is for the British Empire section of the Edexcel A Level History exam. However, it is rather limited in terms of information. It should only be used as a final resource for testing yourself on dates once you know everything. It could also do with a lot more information in the columns. Perhaps you can do something better with it than I did! PS: The thumbnail is only the first page!

Another 40-page document outlining the key facts for the Italy exam! This time with memes. I will say that I didn’t do as well on the Italy exam primarily because the question was on the late 1920s, which I didn’t have as much to say on. I would recommend expanding on that section if you get the chance - perhaps it’s because I didn’t have any memes to help me remember.

A seven-page document including some key facts/knowledge/evidence to have for Section C for the Germany exam for Edexcel A Level History. These facts formed the bulk of my arguments, but make sure you have done detailed work in understanding the perspectives of particular historians, as you will probably have to analyse a source in the exam.

This (20 page!) document includes most of (not all!) the key knowledge you should know for the FRG segment of the Germany unit. I used it to create flashcards, and it worked quite well. If you can, try to find things to add to it so it becomes even more useful for you! Use it for consolidation after doing the topics too. The way it’s structured is a little bit strange, but you can always change it!

This (40+ page!) document includes key information in all areas of the third A Level History paper for Edexcel, British Empire. It is divided as follows: America, Australia, Canada, India, Egypt, Navy & Trade, Role of the Navy It could be used quite well as a starting point for making flashcards, since most of the key facts are there. The later subjects are divided more into “Essay-type” notes, since for some topics there are only 2-3 essay questions which can be asked (e.g. Egypt), but don’t let this fool you! Make sure you revise EVERY topic! For my exams, India came up for a THIRD year in a row, and you can imagine how everyone felt after saying “It won’t come up again” and didn’t revise it.
