Here, you can purchase an excellent revision guide, that goes through all content required in the topic ‘Superpower Relations and the Cold War’ that will help you boost your grade, and to get a grade 9 in your GCSE History exams! Note: This document is ONLY based on the topic ‘Superpower Relations and the Cold War, 1941 – 1991’. It is part of my full History (option HR) document (revision guide) that is on my shop, which contains 6 full topics. If you would like to purchase any other, different topics, they are available for the same price in my shop. In my GCSEs, I continuously developed a very large, concise, detailed document that acts as a revision guide for the Edexcel GCSE History (option HR) course. I have put in large amounts of time and effort into making the document. I made this by using many sources: I used my lesson notes from school, CGP revision guides, and other online sources. As you can see, I created the document from a vast range of resources, and put them together into one succinct, intricate source, covering every topic and aspect of the specification. This makes it much simpler for a student to learn and understand all different concepts, as the easily-accessible document is right in the palm of their hands. Furthermore, my notes are well organised and easy to follow. EG: I use titles and sub-titles to split each part of the content when necessary. I know that this document has helped me to succeed, because my final GCSE grade for History was an 8. Also, I have friends in school that have used my document, and they’ve seen great progress and success in their grades, achieving 9s, 8s and 7s. Hence, I’m confident that the revision guide is very beneficial for everyone. For all my exams, I revised by going through the document thoroughly, helping me to deeply understand and memorise the content required to succeed. Along with this, I used my knowledge and understanding I gained from the revision guide, to do practice papers as well. Ultimately, this left me and my friends prepared to perform well for all our exams. Finally, my method of creating these documents isn’t new to me. For my OCR A-Level Biology-A and AQA A-Level Chemistry courses, I also created documents in a similar style, helping me to accomplish two A*’s for both subjects in my end of year, final A-Level exams. Moreover, in GCSEs, I also created documents for Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Geography, and attained all 9s in them. Without my documents, I wouldn’t have attained 9’s and A*’s! In conclusion, from my experiences over the last three years, I can assuredly say that this style of revision I have utilised has been very effective and successful, because it has allowed me and my friends to make very good progress and achieve fantastic grades overall. Therefore, I would definitely recommend buying these products if you would like to attain similar success!
