gcse history advice?

heyy there, ive got my history mocks next week and i haven't revised anything (none of my subjects wish me an ahh ton load of luck plsplspls) but whats really getting me is history; i suck at remembering content and i suck even more at question structure, im more of a maths girl - i got grade 4 in my last history exam *sobs*
anyone who went from 4 in history to 9 or 8 could you give me some tips? i need it 😖 thanks in advance if u help me out here <3

hey i didn't get a 8 but i got 7, but thru out my mocks i was getting 6s and 5s. I mainly used seneca and watched yt vids and I only did exam practice like 5am morning of exams. Ofc i recommend start doing exam practice now and giving it to your teacher or just going through the mark scheme yourself. honestly i don't think its rlly realistic that u wld get 8/9 only in one week, but you can still bump up your grade, if you put the work in!!

Hi! this person explained a technique to study that I think is pretty effective: https://medium.com/@h2historytutor/how-i-went-from-grade-5-to-grade-9-in-gcse-history-without-studying-for-hours-eed345dd896e this article also highlights some great resources you can use: https://medium.com/@h2historytutor/the-gcse-history-resources-i-wish-i-knew-about-sooner-25a3f40348de. This periodic table can be useful too:https://www.kingsbridgeeducation.co.uk/post/gcse-history-periodic-table. Goodluck you got this!

Firstly what exam board do you do? I do edexcel so what I say might not apply for you but I would generally say that understanding the content is easy.
Go on GCSE pod and watch videos for each topic, make flash cards for 1)things you don’t understand and 2) key dates. When I was in year 10 I would make such stupid flash cards for information that is super easy to understand which wasted my time. After that, either make a mind map or a time line.
As I’m not sure of your exam board or which topics you study I can’t really give you exact advice for exam practice but I would say overall really try and understand what the question is asking you. Like for my exam board we have 4 markers which require 0 knowledge or very little knowledge but many people lose marks as they don’t actually know what they are asked to do(I can help you with that if you’re unsure).
Look at the mark scheme for each type of question, it will tell you how the marks are broken down.
