ooooh I love that Washington quote, its my second favourite quote after William Shakespeare saying 'those who stay up on twitter instead of revising is guaranteed to have a 10/10 dope life' 
--definitely following this thread!!
Study Level: A-Level
Subjects studying: Stuart Britain, 1603-1702 + Weimar and Nazi Germany, 1918 - 1945
Favourite period of history: I quite like the Ancient worlds, Greek, Rome + Egypt, as well as the Medieval times as its just so interesting to see contrasts to modern day times, yet also the discovery of such fundamental things that are still present in our society today
What do you like about history? I love learning about the past and just general knowledge tbh, its fascinating yet kind of depressing how history repeats itself in different forms, as well as learning a lot about civilisation based on different conditions
How are your studies going so far? hmm, its a hard one. year 12 I had 7 teachers so I did have a rocky start, I just recieved a C overall in my mocks though, so I do think that progress is being made slowly but surely....lets just hope I master the technique of essay writing before the exams so I can get that B (or even A!) --I love the content, the actual essay writing though....hmmm idk

Hello, I am Charlotte,
I’m doing AQA A-Level history and doing The Tudors, The American Dream and anti-semitism in Nazi Germany as my coursework. I’m enjoying history so far but I am struggling to get my head round some of the key words in The Tudors

Study level: GCSE (wjec)
Areas studied: USA 1920s, Medicine through time. War, Depression and Recovery, Coursework is 19th century London + Jack the Ripper
Favourite era: end of ww2 which led to the cold war and other conflicts. Also learning about ancient civilisations
Why I love history: not really sure, it's just such an enjoyable subject and I love my teacher. Definetly like to look at everything with benefit of hindsight
How my studies are going: Quite well, although I'm overwhelmed with the amount of content. Coursework went well with full marks on first piece

Hi!
Level of study: AS
Exam Board: AQA...? (probably I'm like 99.8% sure)
Topics: Wars of the Roses and Tsarist/Communist Russia
I honestly love history so much, I have had such good teachers all the way through secondary school and have had my WotR teacher every year since year 8 so really comfortable with her. Just had mocks (this week) so very nervous about how they've gone.
Definitely need to work more on sources as they were my sticking point at GCSE.

Hi
Long story short I haven't done ANY revision for my History A level - well not much compared to my other 2 subjects.
I haven't done any notes or exam Q's etc.
Is there ANY point in me making notes when the exam is in May 2019 (4 months!)
What are the best ways to revise for History at A level?
Is it worth it to make notes!?
I was thinking of going through the textbook & revision guide quickly and simply making the summarised notes (all of them) asap and then focusing on nailing down the actual content / knowledge??
What would you do if you were in my situation?
If not notes then what should I do?
- watch videos?
- make mind maps?
- answer exam Q's?
Topics:
- Britain politics
- America & conformity
- British Warfare
- coursework (doing now)
What should I do??????
Thank you
