Ok so I’m nearing the end of my head 12 summer break. GCSEs was terrible so I’ll admit I sat back for the whole of y12 and Finsihed the ur with predicted CCD. I haven’t done much this summer and I have 2 weeks to revise/learn all the content in uear 12 and prepare for my September mocks which is my only shot of upping my predicted grades. I was zoned out for most classswz and since I neber revised I have pretty much no recollection of what I’ve learnt the entire year which is why I’ll probably habe to retract myself the entire years work for all my subjects. I’ve been looking around at how I can revise effectively as I need to go from a D in poltics to an A and a C in sociology to an A/A* ( I was a mark from a B on my last mock and I haven’t revised at all but I find it my easiest subject so I truly believe if I actually revise I can get a top grade in that) but I see everyone say they took notes etc. I do not want to waste time making notes for months of content and THEN revising it with flashcards and then making essay plans. I feel like at the end of the day all I need to know is the content so I can make essay plans and start answering past papers right?
But nobody really says that and I don’t want to revise the wrong way or under revise and flop my mocks.
But I don’t think I have time to go through everything and make notes it feels like a waste of time when the aim should be to memories content.
So to anyoen that is doing or did these subjects what the best/quickest way to revise effectively and get too grades?
I make my flashcards online so If I don’t make notes my folders would have practically nothing in it which also makes me feel like maybe it’s under revising to not make nots but I don’t know…
