year 11 revision

soo i was wondering if my revision methods r good or not...lmk
english lit - mind mapping on characters and themes, quotes on flashcards, then eventually blurting info.
history - mind mapping key things (ppl + technology). flashcards for dates??, past papers
science - watching some videos, past paper questions, flashcards

this is just a bit but give me some advice!!

Which exam boards (and topics for history) are you doing?

Hi there,

The History revision sounds amazing, you have incorporated lots of techniques in one that is beneficial for those types of subjects. However, from what I have learnt by achieving a Grade 9 in Triple Science and English Literature is that less is more. I would try to revise so much and cram which would lead me just to a passing grade in my mocks, however when it came to exam season, I tried to just watch youtube videos and get the hold of it. Anything you wouldn't understand you could just watch a video on it. Also keep in mind, I started my revision 5 months before the exam, by working about an hour a day. My friend, (who was one of the smartest girls in my class) started her revision way too early and felt burnt out and overwhelmed when it came to exams. She didn't end up achieving any Grade 9s because she overworked herself too early, so don't make the same mistake. Hope that helps!
