american spellings for gcses?

hey guys so i'm doing history gcse edexcel not igcse and for the last questions we get SPaG marks, but i spell everything the american way. what words do you think i should learn to write the british way so i don't miss out on marks?
thanks :smile:
Firstly I've got no idea if it really matters but if it actually does I would suggest just searching up "american vs british spelling" and going through the list writing down things you think you might have to use in a history essay.
For example "aeroplane" and "colour" might be words worth remembering rather than "biscuit" (rather than cookie that is (just classic example hahah))
