02How it is examined

What a Ancient Egypt question asks you to do

Year 7 Assessment Task Shape is 50 marks in 75 minutes. Questions on Ancient Egypt are not one shape repeated: the command word decides what the marker is looking for, and the mark value decides how much of it. These are the ones History Year 7 uses.

Dux writes practice for this module in exactly these shapes, so the drill is the same task the paper sets — not a general knowledge quiz with the module name on it.

03Where this module sits

Ancient Egypt in the History Year 7 course

Ancient Egypt is module 2 of 3 in History Year 7. Students routinely lose marks because a question spans two modules, so the neighbouring modules are worth reading next to this one.
