Depends on your exam board but I reckon you can probably expand into using the other exam boards? Alternatively my history teacher has suggested plugging questions into chatgpt or something and getting it to write you questions, but I personally haven't tried that and it seems a bit dodgy to me.

I'm also struggling with this - there are way too little online. What I've been doing is going back to the basic knowledge and making up some of my own questions based on the overall format... What exam board are you? I might be doing the same course and can give you some of my questions - I do breadth and depth studies on china, russia, germany and cold war (Edexcel iGCSE) 🙂

I do Edexcel

The thing I wanna know now at this stage, what should I focus my history revision on? Making flashcards for key causes and consequences for areas I haven't already and do a question write up at a time? Or focus mainly on past papers, or should I leave that for in maybe approx 2 weeks or so?

Need help with the 'Explain two of the following' type of question in the GCSE Cold War section. I don't know, its quite unlike the other 16 markers you get in the course and I this is definitely my weakest one. Can you still use PEEL to structure an answer to this?
