Focus on concepts
and study tips
Since 2000 and the new specifications
the place of concepts in History work has

importance of concepts from the
beginning in 1987 and worked our way
through relevant concepts [please see list
in the column, right]. Some of the short
concept articles are more challenging:
our questions and answers file are our
way to help students assimilate a
concept’s key features.
