Well I (My opinion here) think it's important to vary your revision mediums year on year (So same basic revision technique that works but written on different mediums). Basically last year I revised for my AS-Levels with flash card and notes for january modules and then with page A4 notes for the summer. This year for summer A2 exams I have got A3 Art pads and i'm spacing out revision notes loads which helps me picture the page in the exam (I suppose a little eidetic memory?). People have different techniques such as spider diagrams or plain notes but test them all NOW to see what works for summer.

I think you should change the medium so that you click, memory wise, to that exact revision page. Try flash cards and other ways, you may find that good.
I had like 20 exams including 5 A Level exams with no real revision for GCSEs, so you could easily revise the week before each and get straight A*s!
