Make sure you are only learning what is really needed. Assuming you do Edexcel, you absolutely do not need to remember the whole textbook - I'm Y13, predicted an A* and rarely use the textbook for revision. Learn the following:
- Basic Information and processes (e.g. For Parliament, learn how many MPs there are, how bills go through etc)
- Examples - You can get these from watching the news
- Statistics - Mainly for elections and referendums
- Advantages and disadvantages
- Key thinkers (For Ideologies)

For remembering, use Anki or SaveAll. They use Spaced Repetition techniques so that you remember them over a long period of time, which will be helpful for Y13. Then use past papers to do questions - This means you can see what you know and what you need to go over. Get your teachers to mark them.
