How to answer the AQA Historical Investigation

A free guide to the A-Level History Coursework (NEA)

What’s inside:

• How to evaluate a source properly and why an unreliable source can still be the most valuable one you have.

• How to weigh two historians against each other instead of just reporting what each of them says, which is where a third of your marks sit.

• How to structure the investigation as an argument rather than a story, and where your sources and historians should sit so they actually count.

• What to set out in your introduction so everything after it has something to measure against.

• Why your answer has to move across the whole period, and what it costs you when it does not.
