KNOWLEDGE
lightbulbs
Learn the facts.
Off by heart.
This is the knowledge you need!
Without these building blocks you'll have a very quiet exam...
There is so much information out there you just need to learn it.
Everything you need is in your text book.
OR you could find the basics here and build up from there.
Print off the checklist first - make sure you have all the notes and then work through memorising them.
IGCSE History Checklist
Revising for Paper 1
1. Print these booklets off.
2. Read them
3. Make a timeline to show the events in each booklet.
4. Learn the events in each booklet. (P1 is unlikely to have 1.1 as it is your topic for P2)
Use Quizlet or test yourself by trying to write out all the main points without looking.
Revising for Paper 2
After Paper 1 is out of the way, you can really focus on Paper 2.
Learn the information you need. (For 2017 it will be 1.1 Peace treaties)
Read the chapter in your textbook too.
Make sure you also check the technique section!
Revising for Paper 4
Go back to Germany 1918-1945 notes.
