This PowerPoint has all past paper questions for the GCSE Edexcel Elizabeth I paper, along with a model answer for each!
All question 1s are together and so are all question 2s and 3s.
They are also arranged into their relevant chapters, so that students can focus on one topic at a time.
Finally, there is a model answer for each question, for students to compare their answers to and to memorise for the exam.
There is a very good chance that this years questions will replicate past paper questions (or be very close!).
