Hi everyone,
Between 11th-15th June, all crammed into one week, i have SIX GCSE's. These are:
2 Maths ( Non-Calc and Calc ), 2 Science ( Chemistry and Biology ) and 2 History ( Unit 3 resit and i think Unit 1 where you choose 3 sections out of 6 ).

I am very worried about the History re-sit. I was predicted an A and i worked VERY hard before the exam in January, but i came out, unfortunately , with a C. I am in Year 9 and i am doing my GCSE's early, so that doesnt help, because i have then missed 1 year of history.

Basically , could anyone tell me any revision tips for this paper. It is the one with 5 questions, Inference, Purpose, Cross-Referencing, Utility and Hypothesis. My teacher has been very helpful and helped me out with a student guide and gave me plenty of past papers to practice on. I have done alot of work on how to structure the answers because this is where i failed last time i think. I have also done a bit of revision on the actual knowledge. Is there anything else i can do? Please tell me any tips that have worked for you, and if you are stuck on anything , send me an email and i will try my best to help you, Thanks! )

Thanks alot mate, that is very useful, and i have already done that but i will get another one to have a look. Thanks for the advice!! Personally i prefer the 'Student Guide' my teacher gave me. It was 30 pages long. It is:
GCSE Modern World History Unit 3 source enquiry-War and the transformation of British Society c1903-28
Guidance document for students.
Thanks alot thought!!! So what year are you in now, and what subjects are you doing?

No problem! I'm in Y11, doing triple science, english, maths, IT, french and DT. Got my two history exams on 12th and 15th but I'm doing American West and Medicine Through Time :P Doing History at A Level aswell Y9 is early to do your GCSE's, is it so that you get more or something?

Hi, sorry for late reply. I have started early on that Accelerated Cohort thing. Basically, i will finish the majority of my GCSE's in Year 10 ( Except English which will continue through Year 11) . then , while i am year 11, i can do any re-sits i want to , and then start Lower Sixth
