I'm currently in year 13 studying English Literature, History, Psychology and Law. Along with an EPQ (if anyone wants help with that message me)
I'm gonna skirt over English Lit because I had an intense hatred for the content of the AS year so I didn't do anywhere near as much work as I should have. Following that, my advice would be to actually read the books, more than once if possible and get down some pivotal quotes that would be useful for various themes. Annotations really help also, and practice questions in the time limit to nail your wording and exam technique. Or if you're gonna do it the way I regrettably did, be exceptional at cramming and pull something fabulous out in the exam!
History, start revising early, the content is huge. LEARN YOUR DATES AND FIGURES. I cannot stress that enough. Accuracy in your responses will make or break the exam for you. Pester the life out of your teacher to help you construct arguments for possible questions and get them written up timed. A lot of the reason people fail this a level is because they either didn't revise, or their writing style doesn't tick the boxes the examiners want. Get your style nailed early on!
Psychology, literally just learn your studies and evaluation points. Get out of the habit of waffling on, they literally just want the answer half the time. For the 12 markers, make sure you use correct studies and info that the question they've asked requires, not the question you want to answer. ALWAYS EVALUATE. People who forget, fail.
Law, LEARN YOUR CASES. Even the obscure ones, because the second exam this year had two horrid niche questions. I recommend whiteboard quizzing or flash cards. Also get used to writing in a way that hits their assessment criteria. Do lots of past papers.
I revise via notes condensing, mind mapping, quizzing, or past papers. Although word/ picture association works too.
Good luck everyone! Work from the off and you'll be fine. I did a stupid thing and though I did the work all year, I realise now I look back on it that I didn't really revise properly until a month or so before the exams (or never in the case of Lit, yes I'm ashamed and I know that's not recommended at ALL)
If you're wondering, I got AAAA last year, so though some of my methods are somewhat unconventional, luckily they got me through. My brain works well with short term cramming. Be aware that if you decide to do what I did and cram, it may well work for AS, but don't be foolish enough to continue doing it. I've turned my habits around because I'm chasing A*s this year and cramming will not cut it.
And finally. DO NOT WASTE FREE PERIODS. They are crucial.
