At a glance

The course
Edexcel International A Level (IAL) History YHI01 was first examined in 2016.
What we hold
We hold 353 papers from 22 sittings, June 2016 to June 2025, and the specimen papers.
Full title
Pearson Edexcel International Advanced Level in History · 2016 onwards

Not Edexcel? Same subject, other boards.

Each board sets completely different papers. Check yours before you revise the wrong thing for months.

The board and course code are printed on the front of every mock paper.

HELP. Which board am I??

Find a mock or past paper from school. The board's name is at the top of the front cover, and the course code is printed next to it, like YHI01. No paper to hand? Ask your teacher which board and course code you are entered for.

Memes

Laugh now. Cry in the exam hall later. Then come back and do a past paper.
