Basically all I did was make notes on the textbook before each class so I saw the class as revision. If you haven't already started making revision notes do it now. Also, reading around the subject is important. I did Germany from Tsar Wilhelm upto the end of Nazi Germany. For each figure I made a revision card with their biography on, key dates etc. Also, for the historical sources I went on wiki and wrote out facts which would bias their opinion e.g. if they are trained as an economist or if they are an anglophobe etc. I also used lots of different books to make my notes from e.g. Martin Kitchen Europe Between the Wars - I tried to use at least four different sources including my textbook for my notes on each event. Do everything your teacher tells you and do lots of practice essays. When I revised my notes, I used the look, cover, recite, check method. I would memorize a page so I could recite it out loud without mistake and then I would turn to the next and when I recite I would recite from the first page to where I was up to. Also, start to develop your own shorthand - it saves time when you're writing. I started developing a system four years ago and I don't even write 'the' anymore I just write t. Other examples: ep = epistemology, ep'c = epistemic, ep'ly = epistemically. If something ends in 'ness' = 'n, ful = 'f (e.g. mean'f'n but I have a symbol for mean) ing = 'g. It goes on and on but I find symbols help trigger by memory and make it more active.

Good luck!! I was late to my history exam cause I wasn't going to bother, I thought I would fail lol.

Full UMS on plenty of GCSE exams, and full UMS in all of History and Physics, coursework included... although I know for a fact that at least 2 of the Physics exams were not even particularly close to full raw marks :colondollar:

Oh and 100 UMS on the first Critical Thinking paper... gotta love Critical Thinking! :laugh:
Theres a series of "100% tests" that we have to pass with 100% for first year engineering at my uni, and I've not failed one yet :biggrin: (been 4 so far)
