AQA sociology a level

I’m really struggling to study a level sociology - I’m predicted an E and I need to attempt to get a B or Atleast a C in the exam. I studied for hours yesterday and can’t remember a single thing. Does anyone have any tips on how to revise? there’s so much content and I’m so lost.

When studying for exams, I found that quality was just as important as quantity. A great thing to remember is - Study SMART Not Long. It's much easier to implement a regular and successful study schedule if you are studying SMART.
o Set yourself goals.
o Make study techniques that promote greater results.
o Ask for help.
o Reward yourself for progress.
o Take a Break.

S: Set yourself goals for study. For example, make up an exam/essay question and work towards answering it.
M: Remember VARK. Are you a Visual learner, Audio learner, Reading learner or Kinetic learner. Use study techniques that will promote the best learning for yourself.
A: If you are struggling with anything ask your teacher for help. Their job is to help you with your studies. Alternatively, use study guides or the internet to help breakdown tough subjects.
R: When you hit your goals, complete work and meet important deadlines reward yourself with treats. For example, make watching an episode of your favourite show your reward for completing tasks.
T: When you’ve finished studying take breaks. Go for a walk, hang with friends or get a cup of tea and watch TV. It’s important not to overdo revising.

I hope this helps! Good luck with your exams!
