Do you struggle with remembering the facts etc or with writing the actual essays in the way the examiner wants them?

I struggle with writing the essay, I'm okay with remembering dates etc but it's the analysis and forming an arguments using historical events that I find super hard! I'm on Edexcel (route F) and it's a new spec, so there's a lack of example answers and past questions.

I though that the principals of writing essays for history A level would be the same regardless of the exam board. Are they that different??

The main principles and things my teacher stresses when writing the essays is to write about social, economic and political effects separately, and to make sure time periods are compared within that. We are also told to not make our points chronologically but to write them in order of importance. Also, make sure you aren't describing what happened, but concentrating on the effects of the event. I'm not sure if any of those are relevant to Edexcel, but I hope they help in some way
