How to write an A* essay (for AQA A-Level History students)

A-Level history essays are not easy.

You need to understand complex content, memorise dates, events and statistics and have the ability to shape it all into convincing arguments… all under intense time pressure.

I get it. A couple of years back, I was in exactly the same position.

And honestly, I had no idea what I was doing. Nobody told me how to structure an essay or how to revise effectively. I had to figure it out myself… and it took a ridiculous amount of time. Over the Christmas of Year 13, I woke up at 5 a.m. every day just to prepare for mocks. This isn’t to brag... it was unnecessary and I don’t want you to make the same mistakes I did.

That’s why I’ve created this guide: to save you countless hours and frustration. It brings together everything I’ve learned from achieving an A* in A-Level history, studying history at university and working as a private history tutor.
