History Subjects on This Page

This fascinating resource will make it easy for you to revise what you already know and make it interesting to learn new things about the topic. Many of the quizzes have links to relevant BBC Bitesize pages where you can learn even more.

Our teachers have written the quizzes to align with the GCSE History syllabus for children aged 14 to 16 in Years 10 and 11 of secondary school.

History is one of the most fascinating subjects you can study at GCSE. There isn’t much that can beat it! (If you studied dragons, that would probably be more interesting, but unfortunately that’s not on the curriculum yet).

When you embark on your quest to revise GCSE History, you’ll quickly uncover what a vast and varied subject it is.

(That’s our way of saying “nobody panic, but there’s a lot of History stuff to learn!”.) From British warfare and communism to the Cold War and medicine in the nineteenth century, History isn’t for the weak.

Check out the links at the bottom of the quizzes to find out more from the relevant BBC Bitesize page.

When you study with us (which you will, because you think we’re fantastic, right?) you can go through History one quiz at a time. It’s probably the best way to tackle such a meandering subject. You’ll hear people talk about how History all comes together like a miraculous tapestry. We think that sounds a bit lame, but it makes a fair point. Everything you study in History is important because it all adds to the final piece.

We have over 100 GCSE History revision quizzes for you to get stuck into. They’re good ’uns too, encapsulating all the important stuff from the National Curriculum. We’ve got everything from US society in the 1920s to insights into Nazi Germany. Keen students can set themselves a daily quiz challenge (perhaps to complete a handful of quizzes a day or even to get full marks on one). Your revision scheduling will be made a breeze when you start to work our way through our catalogue of quizzes.

Forget stressing about exams. With Education Quizzes, you can finally take control of your revision and get stuck into the fascinating and shocking stories you’ll uncover. For extra help in exam preparation, have a read of our Exam Revision For The GCSEs page.

History is shrouded with intrigue and we can’t get enough of it.
