I've been using Exam Ninja books for around five years to help my nine-year-old daughter with her schooling. We buy a set for each year and my daughter works her way through them, a little each day, with my assistance. These are an excellent resource for boosting a child's learning journey and supporting the school curriculum.

About the AQA GCSE History America 1920-1973 Study Guide (Ages 14-16)

If your Year 10 or Year 11 teenager is preparing for AQA GCSE History, the AQA GCSE History America 1920-1973 Study Guide from CGP gives them every key fact, exam technique and practice question they need to tackle this fascinating period with confidence. Covering the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, the New Deal, post-war prosperity and the Civil Rights movement through to Watergate, this guide breaks down half a century of American history into clear, manageable chunks that match the AQA specification exactly—so your child revises only what will be tested.

Inside, every double-page spread focuses on a single topic, combining concise explanations with timelines, photographs and source extracts that bring the era to life. Exam-style questions appear throughout, helping your teenager practise source analysis, interpretation and essay skills under realistic conditions. Detailed worked examples show how to structure answers and pick up marks, while quick-fire recall questions at the end of each section reinforce learning and highlight any gaps before the real exam. Because the guide is written and laid out by CGP, the explanations are direct, the tone is approachable, and the format stays consistent—perfect for independent revision when you're juggling work and family commitments.

Your teenager gains a single, reliable reference that covers migration, racial tension, economic policy, foreign affairs and cultural change in one place, so they can move seamlessly from the Palmer Raids to the Pentagon Papers without hunting through notebooks or scrolling endless websites. Regular summary boxes and margin notes flag common exam pitfalls and highlight links between themes—essential for higher-level answers that compare causes, consequences and significance. When revision feels overwhelming, this guide offers structure: your child knows which pages to read, which questions to attempt and which topics need more attention, turning panic into a calm, methodical plan.

Whether your child is starting the course in Year 10 or revising intensively in Year 11, the guide adapts to their pace, supporting everything from first reads to final consolidation in the weeks before the exam.
