A wide choice of topics
A greater choice of topics is available to suit the needs and preferences of you and your students, giving you the flexibility to decide which topics to teach.

An assessment structure with four equally weighted units
Edexcel GCSE History has four equally weighted units, each worth 25%, with three one-hour-15-minute exams, each assessing a single content area or skill. These focused question papers help students to understand what they are being assessed on in each exam and to plan their revision.
 
Based on our GCE History specification
Our GCSE specifications have been carefully designed to support students’ transition to studying our History GCE. There is a common approach to both specifications and lots of choice and flexibility to enable you to construct a coherent and exciting programme that will motivate and inspire students.
 
A complete range of support
Whatever your query – whether it's about the specification, schemes of work or assessment - our History Subject Advisor Mark Battye and his team will be happy to help. Our free controlled assessment teacher support books provide information, practical support and guidance to help you to understand, plan, run and mark controlled assessments with confidence.
