How can I get a 9 in GCSE history?

I’ve been stuck at an 8 (nearly a 9) in both of my year 11 mocks and as I am going to take history for a level, I’d really like to get a 9.
Does anyone have any tips on how to get my grade up?
My exam board is Edexcel and I’m doing Migration in Britain, Weimar/ Nazi Germany, Cold War and Elizabeth 1.

There’s no coursework for my exam board, it’s just the exams that you sit in May/ June

my teacher told us that not only do we need to know the summary of each subtopic but also small details which we can use in the exam for a better grade 😃

Hey, I do GCSE Edexcel History and I have my Early Elizabethan England (1558-88) assessment this week. The 12 mark question is:-

"Explain why Elizabeth I introduced the religious settlement in 1559. (12 marks)"

These are my 3 causes/paragraphs:-

1.

Please all religious groups

2.

Stop puritanism spreading

3.

Secure her position

Do you have any evidence I could use for these 3 causes
