There are lots of resources out there to help students prepare for their History exams but it's important that students revise from the appropriate resources. I would recommend the following:
Edexcel GCSE History textbook from Hodder - these are the textbooks which we use in lesson for all topics.
Edexcel GCSE History Revision Guide from Pearson (as seen in the image above). Pearson also offer revision cards for each topic.
Edexcel GCSE History Revision Guide from CGP that gives a good overview of each topic.
