How to revise for history gcse edexcel

How would you revise for history GCSE?I'm doing the Crime and Punishment paper, Nazi Germany and Protest. I have past papers but how would i go about revising for it. I don't think i have enough time between now and the exam to make notes from textbooks as there's alot of content.Any suggestions?

I did edexcel history last year, although i did other topics. I went to B&Q and I brought lining paper, I got home and I then made massive timelines for each topic. I started by filling in the dates/facts I knew then I filled in the ones I didn't! I found this really useful, however if this isnt for you you can always do mindmaps, flash cards etc.. also teaching somebody else or just talking through it really helps too!

I like to summarise everything into the 5ws and add extra details (e.g. what does a certain event cause) if necessary. Humour, too, in my notes also helps to make everything seem interesting when I or my friends are reading them :smile:
