AQA GCSE History Paper 2

Thursday 4th June 2020 PM

This section of Paper 2: • • • •

Contains 4 compulsory questions Is worth a total of 40 Marks Contains medium and long answer questions Has marks for Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar (SPaG)

Five most common mistakes in a History exam 1. Lack of details – for example referring to “Britain” without reference to specific individuals or institutions 2. Forgetting to describe consequences of an event – what were the impacts and effects of major events? 3. Forgetting to describe causes of an event – what were the factors which led to an event 4. Failing to answer the question – this is likely to cost large amounts of marks 5. Imprecision in names or locations – always try to give historically accurate locations, such as “The Austro-Hungarian Empire” rather than “Austria”, or “The British Empire” rather than “Britain”.

English Skills in History As with all arts and humanities subjects, skills learned in GCSE English, in particular English Language, play a part in achieving the maximum possible marks. While there are very few specific marks for spelling, punctuation and grammar (SPaG), proper use of these is key to achieving high grades.
