GCSE History Study Group | 2025-2026

Welcome to the GCSE History Study Group!

This is where you can chat with other students studying the same subjects as you and support each other as you head towards your exams

You can post any useful tips and resources that you come across, offer support to others, share your successes, or just have moan when it gets tough!

Just remember, it’s against the site rules to ask for or offer any copyrighted papers and to request offsite chat. Posts that break these rules will be removed.
Here are a few icebreaker questions:
What exam board are you with?
What do you enjoy most about History?
What area do you struggle with most in History?
What year are you in?
Do you plan to take A-Level History?
