Exam tips for History

  1. 01Essay structure: Claim → Evidence → Analysis → Link to question — every paragraph.
  2. 02Source questions: HOCSA framework — provenance (who, when, why) affects reliability.
  3. 03Avoid narrative — Cambridge A Level history demands analysis, not a story.
  4. 04Name historians: A.J.P. Taylor, Norman Stone, R.J. Overy — historiography earns top marks.
  5. 05Use precise evidence from the route and depth study selected by your school.
