OCR GCSE History (Paper 2)?

Question

Hi, I'm currently studying for my History GCSE. The problem is I'm really struggling with the exam questions?! They're so confusing because I don't know what the examiner really wants. Can someone give me some advice or any exam skills when coming to certain questions on the exam. Thanks, it would mean a lot!

Post some examples of the confusing questions, and perhaps you can be helped to understand them. But why not ask your teacher to explain ?

Answer 2

I don't know if you'll be able to do this, but when my son was studying for GCSE we were able to get past papers from the exam board website, and some of the older ones had marking schemes telling what an A answer needed, what a B answer needed, etc. Try googling the paper and "marking scheme" Anything you get will be several years old, but it helps to see what a good answer looks like.
