Running out on what to revise?

For business finance I’ve wrote all my flash cards (exam is first day bck) so there’s not much there I need to.
For science I’ve been doing mindmaps for each paper etc Chemistry 1 and then I can do pastpapers but that’s really it
Maths I do past papers and hegarty maths
English language - I don’t even have a clue how to revise for that
Literature - I’ve been sticking up mindmap a everywhere and past essay questions as for poems as well
History - I’ve been doing flaschards for each topic
I know I need to do more revision but I don’t know what else I can do for it to be more effective and I learn more help please x

Have you tried just lots of testing ? It helps highlight which areas you struggle to understand and which you don't remember as well. I use Seneca Learning for this, and sometimes Quizlet. Or there's also Tassomai, although you have to pay for that.
Also worth doing questions under timed pressure to get your timing right, and to read through mark schemes when correcting answers to see what you should be writing.

Also, I find it quite helpful to watch youtube videos as they show you stuff in different ways. For example, I think Mr Bruff is really good for English Lit and there are quite a few science ones out there (primrose kitten, freesciencelessons etc)

Here is some practise!!!!
Honestly just stay calm everything will work out eventually. Majority of the country are ******** themselves because they haven't even started revising yet so you have got the best possible issue. Some advice I have is to work through as many past papers as you can. Although you have the knowledge you need to make sure you can put it into exam technique to ultimately get the marks. Lastly just enjoy yourself (ik it sounds hard but its possible) and best of luck I'm sure you will smash them!

Your welcome...good luck!!!=):smile:
Yes I am I've got 19 exams!! Its stressful but I'm sure if I work hard it will pay off. Im mainly aiming for just passes noting to fancy!
The danger of starting too soon, imo.

I guess just grind past papers from here on out if you've got all of your material prepared. (then use your notes if you get stuck or forget something)
