Engaging with AQA GCSE (91) History Revision Guide: Elizabethan England, c15681603
English
By (author): Dale Banham
This is not your average revision guide. It doesn't just tell you what to revise. It teaches you how to revise, too, which is the key to exam success.
Based on the latest cognitive science principles and illustrated by lots of visual memory aids, this book makes it much easier to remember everything you need to know and avoid feeling overwhelmed.
> Start revising the right way. Testing yourself is proven to boost memory, so you will start each chapter by answering a Knowledge Test, to see what you know and where you have gaps.
> Spend time on what matters. Having completed the Knowledge Tests, you can plan a really efficient revision programme, which focuses on your weaker topics and will make the biggest difference to your grade.
> Close the gaps. The 'Core Content' pages improve your knowledge of the topics that you need to revise. Research proves that we remember something better if it's presented through text and images, so these pages use bullet points and cartoon memory aids to summarise the important knowledge 'takeaways'.
> Show what you know. The 'Exam Practice' pages explain what to do with the knowledge you have gained and how to apply it in the exams. Practice questions and exam tips help you to feel confident answering each question type. Compare your answers to the model answers provided, which highlight the features of excellent responses.
> Trust the Dale Banham method. Dale is a highly creative History author and a teacher with over 30 years' experience. Building upon the thinking behind his popular 'Engaging with AQA GCSE History' textbooks, the 'steps to success' in this book give students more support than any other revision guide.
