While some questions in the examination will assess your subject knowledge, others will
examine your skills in chronology and working with evidence:
•
Chronological awareness involves you having the ability to place various dates/events
in the correct order (i.e. from the earliest to latest).
• When analysing evidence, the Form 1 historian must have the ability to determine
whether the evidence is objective or subjective (i.e. whether the author is biased or
not).
Advice for revising History:
1.
Revise only one topic per revision session (approximately 30 mins.) – don’t try to
revise too much in one go.
Use spider diagrams/mind-maps as a means of selecting the key points from the notes
in your notebook.
As a revision session draws to an end, close your notebook, cover all your revision
notes/cards and take a blank page and see if you can reproduce your spider diagram.
If you can, your revision has been effective. If you cannot, you need to go back and
revise that topic/section of the topic again. Remember, it’s not the quantity of revision
that is important, but the quality of the revision.
