Common mistakes A Level students make

• Treating Economic Changes, 1900–76 as IGCSE content — the command words and the depth are higher; definitions must be specification-ready.
• Ignoring AS vs A2 — revising the wrong year’s depth wastes time and leaves gaps for the paper you actually sit.
• Skipping working on “show that” — the printed answer is not a mark; the algebra is.
• Describing when asked to explain — features without a mechanism score the lower tariff only.
• Mixing boards — Edexcel A Level (YHI01) is not interchangeable with another A Level History programme.
• Never testing retrieval — notes feel fluent until the free Economic Changes, 1900–76 quiz shows the gap.
