02How it is examined

What a World War I question asks you to do

Year 9 Assessment Task Shape is 50 marks in 75 minutes. Questions on World War I 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 9 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

World War I in the History Year 9 course

World War I is module 3 of 3 in History Year 9. Students routinely lose marks because a question spans two modules, so the neighbouring modules are worth reading next to this one.
