Some tips for learning History

• Familiarise yourself with the order of which significant events happened. You don’t have to remember the exact dates, but remembering the year would be helpful when referencing them in your answers.

• It will be helpful to remember at least 3 facts from each significant event that you have learned. It will be best if some of them link to other events.

• If you are a slow writer, it is extremely important that you write a conclusion, according to the mark scheme if your essay lacks a conclusion it immediately puts you in the lower grade boundaries.
