Pearson Edexcel GCSE (9–1) History (1HI0)
Pearson Edexcel GCSE (9–1) History (1HI0) is assessed by three written exams worth 168 marks, including 8 for spelling, punctuation, grammar and specialist terminology. Paper 1 (1 hour 20 minutes, 52 marks, 30%) pairs a thematic study with a historic environment. Paper 2 (1 hour 50 minutes, 64 marks, 40%) is sat as two 32-mark booklets: a period study (P1–P5) and a British depth study (B1–B4). Paper 3 (1 hour 30 minutes, 52 marks, 30%) is a modern depth study using sources and interpretations. Papers were 5–10 minutes shorter before 2025, and in 2018 Paper 2 was one combined paper.
