This resource is a home guide for students to practice exam questions for the new AQA GCSE 9-1 specification. The questions are tailored towards the following modules: Health and the People, Elizabethan England, Tension and Conflict 1919-1939, Germany 1890-1945. Each type of question for the exam has guidance from the examiner, translated into student babble, model answers, practice questions and key term glossaries from the course. The guidance is based on my own interpretation of the mark schemes and attending AQA GCSE courses but is by no means a definitive answer- the text books themselves don't provide "model answers." All students before their mock at our school greatly praised the usefulness of this guide to facilitate home learning and plug gaps of an absence of past papers.
