Are the The Cold War, 1945–1991 questions aligned to the official WJEC GCSE History syllabus?
Every question is written against the published WJEC GCSE History specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real WJEC paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from WJEC.
