That’s why we’ve created a qualification that enables all your students to engage with the subject and show what they know.  \nEvery student matters. With this in mind, our exams are designed to give them every chance to succeed – from accessing that first question to finishing the last.  \nThis guide gives you a closer look at how we’ve shaped our assessments and how we’ll support you every step of the way.  \nOur assessments  \nAn assessment model teachers prefer  Structure and features…Page 3  \n Assessment Objectives…Page 4  \nAssessment styles  Question styles…Page 6  \n Clear and accessible language…Page 6  Command words…Page 7  \nWhat our assessments look like  \n A walkthrough Paper 1 British Thematic Study with Historic Environment   Page 9  \nSupport every step of the way  \nTeaching approaches you’ve told us work well with the new exams  \n Follow-up enquiry…Page 11  Interpretations…Page 13  \n Source inference…Page 13  Extended responses…Page 14  \nTrack and assess progress  Tools and materials…Page 15  \n Pearson Progression Services…Page 15  Published resources…Page 15  \nAn assessment model teachers prefer  \nWe’ve designed our assessment to be accessible to the full range of your learners, while ensuring that they challenge your most able students. Our papers gradually build in demand and are designed to help your students approach the exams with confidence.  \nOur Pearson Edexcel GCSE (9–1) History will be assessed through three written exams. We chose this number of papers because you told us:  \n It gives more students more opportunities to show what they can do.  \n Three shorter papers mean students are less likely to suffer from exam fatigue.  \nStructure and features  \nPaper 1  \nBritish Thematic Study with Historic Environment  \n 1 hour 15 minutes  52 marks  \n 30% weighting AO1, AO2 and AO3 assessed  \nPaper 2  \nPeriod Study and British Depth Study  \n 1 hour 45 minutes  64 marks  \n 40% weighting  \nAO1 and AO2  \nassessed  \nPaper 3  \nModern Depth Study  \n 1 hour 20 minutes  52 marks  \n 30% weighting  \nAO1, AO2, AO3 and  \nAO4 assessed  \nEach Historic Environment site is linked to a thematic study, so students only have to study four distinct areas of content rather than five.  \nWhat students learn in Medicine, Crime, or Warfare will give a broad context for the detailed study of the associated site.  \nOnly Paper 2 has two different topics and assesses two Assessment Objectives.  \nAllows for extra reading time for sources and interpretations.  \n3  \n4  \nAssessment objectives  \n\n| AO1: | Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the key features and\u003Cbr>characteristics of the periods studied. |\n| --- | --- |\n| AO2: | Explain and analyse historical events and periods studied using second-order historical concepts. |\n| AO3: | Analyse, evaluate and use sources (contemporary to the period) to make substantiated judgements, in the context of historical events studied. |\n| AO4: | Analyse, evaluate and make substantiated judgements about interpretations (including how and why interpretations may differ) in the context of historical events studied. |\n\nSpotlight on AO2: Identifying second-order concepts  \nThe new AO2 explicitly specifies the use of second-order concepts when assessing students’ explanation and analysis of historical events.
