If you're studying the same history book as me then you should find this quiz quite helpful! This is just a series of different questions on Key Topic 1 in the Edexcel textbook (Page 76 if you have the book). The questions are based on information from the book so they should all be right! I just made this for the exam I have and you might have on Wednesday 20th June 2012. Good luck!
