AQA A Level History Revision Guides & Workbooks

Hi everybody,
I'm looking to buy some revision guides and workbooks to help me revise for AQA A Level History

So far I have found two guides for Democracy & Nazism:

https://www.whsmith.co.uk/products/my-revision-notes-aqa-asalevel-history-democracy-and-nazism-germany-19/alan-farmer/paperback/9781471876226.html

I have also found a workbook for the course work component (I will be starting that in the autumn):
https://www.whsmith.co.uk/products/aqa-alevel-history-coursework-workbook-component-3-historical-investigation-nonexam-assessment/keith-milne/paperback/9781510423527.html

Has anybody had any experience using these guides and workbooks and if so which ones would you recommend.

Thank you very kindly,
Kelsey :smile:

Hey!
Whilst I didn't use to many work books I did download a fair few revision notes online and revision guides
so ill link the ones I used below!

Also something else I found really useful was to download mark schemes and plan essay questions and checking them myself to all in my knowledge! And versus history podcasts were great at giving some extra detail and contextual information!

Hope this helps! Let me know what you think!

Thank you for your suggestions! In the end I got the Oxford one as it was compatible with my textbook, but the little tests you linked are brilliant and will definitely come in handy.

Thanks for the suggestion of exam questions, I had planned to do some myself and have been making a little folder of loads to do when it comes to hardcore revision time (which lucky for me is next year) but i like to do a few sometimes just to keep the essay structure clear in my head (I do 2 other essay based subjects so it can be easy to mix them up) . I hadn't actually heard of that specific podcast, I will definitely have to have a look.

Thank you for your tips, they were really helpful, hope you have a lovely rest of your day :smile:
