don't just know the content, you need to know how the content applies to certain stuff and what it really means.

Practise! I got only lost one mark in my history GCSE and I did this by planning essays and writing them to time. The more essays you do the easier it will become and the more fluent you will be in the exam. And if you find the content too much - don't worry about it, you can always narrow it down to a few key basic dates and names but then also make sure you have a few more 'obscure' facts. This will impress the examiner: for example one of my topics was Germany and I learnt a bunch of German phrases and propaganda slogans to use
