REVISION

=REVISION FOR THE EXAM=

Hints and Tips

 * 1) Rewrite your notes into your own words, in smaller groups, to help you remember.
 * 2) Write key notes, dates and quotes on post-it notes in blue pen and paste around the house in places that you see often (bedroom, bathroom, front door, fridge).
 * 3) When revising events in history ask yourself 'why? how? what next?'
 * 4) How does your memory work? What will help you to remember? If you are a visual person, hire some documentaries to watch, if you enjoy reading loan some books from the library.
 * 5) Practice writing Sources Analysis and Essays, even just creating a plan for the essay will help you in the exam (time yourself to prepare for the pressure of the exam situation)
 * 6) Create a list of revision questions and test each other.
