hey i know its late but just anted to say that i followed these tips and got an 8, 3 marks off a 9!!!! thank you so so so much, would never have got it without these tips
Thanks for making these exam question videos, they helped me out so much! Now I feel much more ready for tests as you showed the structure in a way really easy to understand and showed an example.
this really helped. ever since year 10 i just keep getting level 2s and level 3s in my exam i really want to get a 5 in my year 11 mocks which start on nov/dec
OMG U SAVED MY LIFE I HAD 30 MINUTES TO START AND FINISH MY 12 MARKER AND ALMOST DIED OF CONFUSION. THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME FROM MY HEAD TEACHER/ HISTORY TEACHER 😓
These are so helpful they make these questions much more simpler to answer. My teacher is so complicated when he explains how to answer exam questions lmaoo😭
Thank you for this After basically a year of not having school and going into year 11 with depression, gender dysphoria and the whole shebang, i had completely forgotten on the written structure on how to do these things Thank you! Just had my first ppe today (topic was Elizabeth, Francis drake, ect) Went horribly but I have two more tommorow and the next day Both on the american west thankfully
Pleased you found the video helpful! And I hope the rest of your ppe went well. Your year group has definitely been screwed over, it will be tough, and GCSEs are important but they're really not the be-all-end-all. Make sure you look after yourself and I hope you are able to find the support you need with your gender dysphoria. Best of luck :)

honestly the only reason why i remember the name robert peel is because of PEEL lmao edit if anyone cares lmao: i got a 5 in history somehow after failing all my mocks beforehand ....
A long, long time ago... i think i needed more luck phaha i honestly didnt feel like that went very well but i’ve always been pretty terrible at history
@@chlo3mak so long as you give it your best shot, that's all that really matters. Unless you're planning to take history A-level, it doesn't really matter all that much if you fail your history GCSE. Better to pass, but in the end all, the people I know who failed GCSEs are still alive and well. Don't stress :)
My history teacher is so useless. He didn’t bother explaining how to write a 12 mark question on Crime and punishment so I’m teaching myself. This was rly helpful thank you!

@@mirabut243 god, it doesn't sound like your school prepared you well! If you think you got the 12, 16 and 4 markers down pretty well (say you got roughly 2/3rds of the marks) then that should work at as at least a 5. But anyway, you've still go 2 papers to go - all hope is not lost! :)
@@Alonglongtimeago but yh our school thought it would be a good idea to leak exam questions for every mock, and we all know that long term thats a bad bad idea, honestly just wish i didnt put history at the back of my mind, pretending it didnt really exist
thank you, watching this becuase my history teacher said my knowledge was amazing and grade 9 level but my exam technique is really letting me down (in my last 12 marker for example i only got 6/12)
Aww, thanks :) Good to hear you find my stuff useful! I won't have a chance to do any more C&P vids before the exam unfortunately. I'll be doing a live stream where I go over the Norman Conquest and Weimar & Nazi stuff before those exams, but I can't do it for C&P unfortunately as I'm away without internet until Sunday :(
This introduction can be really short - maybe 1 or two sentences. The conclusion should be a little bit longer, briefly recapping what's in your paragraphs and summarising your argument - maybe 3 or 4 sentences. Hope that helps :)
Thank you so much. Very helpful. Please can you do a few videos like all of crime and punishment, all of Weimar and nazi germany paper before the exam if your not too busy. It would be heavily appreciated as I need all the help I can get. Thank you so much.
Pleased I could help! Unfortunately, because I'm away without internet over half term, I won't be able to do a whole of c&p thing, but I'm planning to do a live stream for the whole of Weimar & Nazi Germany before the exam. Good luck in your exams :)
A long, long time ago... no worries. Thank you so much for everything else tho. Weimar nazi germany definitely the one I need to revise the most. Hope your exams are going well too.
@@Alonglongtimeago nah, it's more of "they didn't teach us the full structure of the question", like, they didn't teach us about the SPEND for Evidence.
aawww thanks :) Pleased you find my videos helpful! I was meant to be sitting my A-levels this year, but that's obviously not happening. I still have some coursework to finish off before I'm completely done with college, and then, presuming I get the grades, I'll be off to university in September to study... history! (ik shocking)
Hi @A long ,long time ago... your videos are great! i handed in my 12 marker and i got 10! My teacher said that i need to write about the importance of the reason in my statements. I think you should do a full mark answer showing it with the importance? Well thats what my teacher told me! However , Your videos are just helpful!
Thanks for this! Crime and punishment GCSE today, i’m not gonna lie i’m shitting myself, i’m Currently working at a 3 despite seemingly knowing the structures. I know this makes it seem like i actually don’t try, but i genuinely do try

Ughhhhh all my history teachers contradict each other!! Some of them say u need to say the most important reason for why something happened and link the other factors to the most important to the most important factor but others say it’s wrong and say u need to link to the question😩😩😩
The problem you have is that you're assuming there's one correct way to answer a question like this! There are several different structures that you can use, all of which will enable you to get all the marks if you use them correctly. Some teachers will be a bit funny about which structure you use and want you to use theirs, but in reality, when it comes to the exam, there are several different structures you can use.

Pleased the videos have helped you! You don't want to start each paragraph with 'the most important reason is...' because only one reason can be 'the most important' so it would sound like you are contradicting yourself if you do that. A better option would be to start your paragraphs with 'one reason is...' but remember that whilst a formula can help you don't have to start every paragraph in the same way. :)
@@Alonglongtimeago Thankyou so much for your response!💕, but I just had my history mock yday and started my paras by saying the most important reason, second most important etc, do you think this will mark me down?
OH MY GOD MY GCSES ARE NEXT YEAR AND BECAUSE OF COVID 19 I'M STUCK AT HOME. THANK YOU SO MUCH btw, I started off my first history exam getting me a 6 but I want a nine next year. what should i do to go the extra mile?
Pleased you liked the video!! If you want a 9 then you'll want to be a bit smart about your revision - prioritise certain subjects and make sure you're revising effectively. You'll want to do quite a lot of revision, but not too much (as in make sure you still have a life and try not to stress yourself out too much) otherwise it'll actually have a detrimental effect. Doing more revision only means better grades to a certain point. After that, it's about increasing the effectiveness of the time you spend revising (I'd recommend you look at my 'how to revise history' video for my tips on that). If the revision is making your brain hurt a bit but you don't feel totally lost, then you're probably doing it right. Also, nailing question structures will help a lot (I'd personally work on one type at a time). Going from a 6 to a 9 is definitely doable, so why not give it a shot? If you don't quite make a 9 then 8s and 7s are still really really impressive grades. Good luck! :)
I got a grade 9 in my history ppe2 mock but the grade boundary’s were like 2 marks lower and I just want to try and get a 9 because I’m doing it at a level and it’s a bit annoying because the grade boundaries for history are usually pretty high
The best advice I can give is to keep trying and hope for the best. Ngl, I was pretty worried about not getting a 9 too and it worked out in the end, so hopefully it will for you too :)
Sure thing... A 16 marker is essentially just a 12 marker with an introduction and a conclusion. Just make sure that you have at least one of your 3 paragraphs arguing for and at least 1 arguing for against. As for how you'd do the intro & conclusion... Introduction: "I agree/disagree with the statement that... This is because (name the points in your agree paragraph[s]), however, (name the points in your disagree paragraph[s])." Conclusion: "Therefore I agree/disagree with the statement that... This is because (summarise your points)."
Hi aha my teacher said that we need to use PEACH structure (point, evidence, analysis, challenge, however) to achieve high grades such as a 9 - is this true or can I just use PEEL lol?

A better option would be to start your paragraphs with 'one reason is...' but remember that whilst a formula can help you don't have to start every paragraph in the same way. :)
@@Alonglongtimeago Thankyou so much for your response!💕, but I just had my history mock yday and started my paras by saying the most important reason, second most important etc, do you think this will mark me down?
@@inayahk8129 No that should be fine :)
Will I still get the marks if I copied ur structure but I am doing AQA
absolutely no idea :( but nothing to stop you trying
Can you do an 8 marker? I always do too much or too little on those questions xx
Btw thanks this rly helped
A video on 8 markers is on the cards, fingers crossed for having out before I start uni in September :)
THANK YOU!
Thanks so much 💙
OH MY GOD MY GCSES ARE NEXT YEAR AND BECAUSE OF COVID 19 I'M STUCK AT HOME. THANK YOU SO MUCH
btw, I started off my first history exam getting me a 6 but I want a nine next year. what should i do to go the extra mile?
Pleased you liked the video!! If you want a 9 then you'll want to be a bit smart about your revision - prioritise certain subjects and make sure you're revising effectively. You'll want to do quite a lot of revision, but not too much (as in make sure you still have a life and try not to stress yourself out too much) otherwise it'll actually have a detrimental effect. Doing more revision only means better grades to a certain point. After that, it's about increasing the effectiveness of the time you spend revising (I'd recommend you look at my 'how to revise history' video for my tips on that). If the revision is making your brain hurt a bit but you don't feel totally lost, then you're probably doing it right. Also, nailing question structures will help a lot (I'd personally work on one type at a time). Going from a 6 to a 9 is definitely doable, so why not give it a shot? If you don't quite make a 9 then 8s and 7s are still really really impressive grades. Good luck! :)
hey how did u do?
Love This!
Aww, thanks :)
Hope we all get great grades
I got a grade 9 in my history ppe2 mock but the grade boundary’s were like 2 marks lower and I just want to try and get a 9 because I’m doing it at a level and it’s a bit annoying because the grade boundaries for history are usually pretty high
The best advice I can give is to keep trying and hope for the best. Ngl, I was pretty worried about not getting a 9 too and it worked out in the end, so hopefully it will for you too :)
Could you briefly explain what to do in the 16 marker.
Sure thing...
A 16 marker is essentially just a 12 marker with an introduction and a conclusion. Just make sure that you have at least one of your 3 paragraphs arguing for and at least 1 arguing for against.
As for how you'd do the intro & conclusion...
Introduction:
"I agree/disagree with the statement that... This is because (name the points in your agree paragraph[s]), however, (name the points in your disagree paragraph[s])."
Conclusion: "Therefore I agree/disagree with the statement that... This is because (summarise your points)."
Hi aha my teacher said that we need to use PEACH structure (point, evidence, analysis, challenge, however) to achieve high grades such as a 9 - is this true or can I just use PEEL lol?
I used PEEL in my exam and got a grade 9 (dropped 11 marks across my 3 papers) so you can defo just use PEEL!
Could you talk about the exam structure for all civil rights queations?
What do you mean by civil rights questions?
@@Alonglongtimeago like 'how to answer every question on paper 3'
Thanks very helpful
Pleased I could help :)
I really wish I was like you... I shall now go and demolish my teacher with sample answers! I am not even near my final exams, but still!
All the example answers you can get :)
Would you be able to do a video for 16 markers + 4 SPaG, please?
Next vid
getting a 9 because of this channel lmao
Can you do some more videos of Russia & Soviet Union in a month since GCSE exams are close!
Would love too but I also have a bunch of assignments and exams for uni so there's no way I'll have time before this year's GCSEs :(
