Hi I'm currently at a grade 9 doing aqa history (exactly the same topics as you). If it is the content you are struggling with then I would recommend mind maps, timelines and showing how different events caused different things (eg. the Great Depression helped Hitler come to power). Also look at the mark scheme, like for the 12 markers in the Germany topic the paragraphs need to be really good before you can get marks for the conclusion. It might also help if you do lots of past papers so you can get used to timings. Hope this helps :smile:

I also do the same topics as you and i got a 9 in my mocks even though i got a 7 in my y10 end of years. Past paper questions are really helpful because technique is the main issue. I can dm u my notes that my school gave on exam technique.
