Why choose this resource?
This IB Option does not have a dedicated textbook, so it is difficult for students and teachers alike to plan and revise effectively. This revision resource is compiled from years of teaching and research experience; it captures the best, the most specific historical evidence and debates from multiple university level academic books from leading historians and scholars.

For Students, these notes are a fantastic resource for those who might struggle with note-taking during class or have difficulty keeping their materials organized. They can help you quickly catch up with your classmates and ensure you don’t miss any important topics. Plus, you can use these notes as a checklist to explore subjects in greater depth later on. Whether you’re looking to reinforce your understanding or prepare for exams, these notes make studying more efficient and effective.

For Teachers, these resources are invaluable for enhancing student learning and engagement. By providing well-organized notes, you empower students to take control of their education, making it easier for them to grasp complex concepts and stay on track. This tool not only supports students who may need additional help but also fosters a collaborative classroom environment where everyone can thrive. By integrating these notes into your teaching strategy, you can save time and focus on deeper discussions, ultimately enriching the educational experience for all your students.

This resource is also suitable for students studying for the other specification e.g. Cambridge IGCSE option, who wishes to challenge and stretch themselves with IB and A Level materials (specific knowledge).

But… how good is it really?
This set of revision notes was curated by an Oxford PhD graduate, who has immense international and British private school teaching and tutoring experience. Many of his students have achieved A Level A*/ IB Lv 7/ GCSE Lv 9 and gone on to study at Oxbridge Universities and beyond.

I hope that these notes would help to save you time in exam preparation. Any feedback welcome!
