    I know nothing! Exam in one week!
    I've put my Life in Nazi Germany revision on hold for the past week to consolidate my knowledge on Tudor (the exam I had today). I thought I knew it pretty well but I've just looked at some questions and I feel completely out of my depth. I feel like the weeks I've spent revising intently have been for nothing! I do know some stuff, but there seem to be huge gaps in my knowledge.
    I don't even know where to start! I haven't been able to revise today because I had two exams and then I came home and slept for four hours because I was so tired.
    How can I cover enough in one week while studying for other exams at the same time!?

    Is this the AQA HIS2M paper on the 22nd May? If so, i know how you feel. I put it on hold for Tsarist Russia and now i've come back to it and I dont feel confident with it like I did beforehand :/

    You should be able to go over it again, the best thing to do is go over the content and not the questions, because the exam can ask you anything so you might as well have content as you have enough time to plan in that exam.
