For those of you who studied A-Level History, Religious Studies and/or English Literature, how long did you spend studying and what grades did you achieve?
Currently doing my A2 History (CCEA exam board) and was planning to start some revision this week, gradually building it up until my exams in late May. I am predicted a C, though have the potential to get an A if I do not have my usual exam panic, haha. Have you done much revision for your History exams yet?

I've done some but I'm prioritising a couple of unit resits for AS and my coursework because they are sooner. I am predicted an A but I only need a B.
I was wondering - what did you do for revision in History?
Although I left revision very last minute I was very consistent with my noting throughout A2, so I had very detailed notes leading up to the exam. In the week before the exam, I spent the first 3-4 days reading through all of my notes and making revision cards, which I split up thematically and then spent the remaining days doing past papers. I must have spent around 14 hours working each day, and when it came to the day of the exam everything was fresh in my mind, and I got pretty lucky with what topics came up.
It was obviously a very stressful week but seems to be the only way I can work.
