GCSE History - need to cram!
Hi, I’m a year 11 student who’s currently predicted an 8/9 for gcse history (edexcel) but I’m quite worried for my mock season in just over a week’s time.
I’ve been able to get very good test scores simply from the content being fresh in my head and my good exam technique, but now that mocks are coming around I don’t remember anything.
If anyone has any revision resources/websites/youtubers (preferably ones that are good for cramming) or revision tips for history, that would be very helpful. I’m doing medicine through time, anglo-saxons and normans and the cold war for my mock papers. Thank you!

i joined up with a few of my friends and we divided up the topics amongst ourselves and each made flashcards for them (using study smarter, so we all had access to them online and could share them with each other). this was a good way of getting it done quickly, and is a useful resource for the real thing (my history revision was based off flashcards and past papers and i got a 9, but i did aqa). even if the mocks are soon, i would recommend doing this and just trying to get through as many flashcards that you can, putting the content that you continually forget onto a word document that you can read through right before the exam. flashcard making is literally soul destroying...but they are a great way to revise.
