How to Revise


Don’t panic or stress! You will want to do your best – but we don’t ‘set’ in Year 8 History, you
will be taught as a form group – so your test result will not determine which class you are in
for History next year.
Revise for 20 minutes at a time; less than 20 minutes isn’t enough; more than 20 minutes is
too much.
Learn when the events happened; who was involved and why.
It is more important that you understand the ‘causes and consequences’ of an event rather
than the exact dates.
The Test Paper
You will answer about 20 quick questions; then you will write a short essay. You will do all of this in
one History lesson.
