Hi! I'm doing russia as well and what i'm doing is making essay plans for pretty much every essay i think could come up then memorising those. I know it seems like a bit of a stretch but it's helpful just having essays in your head so if the question you revised did come up you know exactly what to write. I go onto save my exams, look at past papers and pick questions from there. Since your mocks are pretty soon, i'd just focus on picking out specific detail for topics that could come up and work from there. Have you got any hints about what might come up or do you have to revise everything?

no hints at all other than it will be on chapters 1-8 of the textbook (so everything before power vacuum & struggle) - i've tried doing essay plans but there's very limited questions out there that could come up (i've only got about 4 or 5 and less in terms of the source questions) so i'm just really worried and i feel like nothing's sticking at all but its a bit too late to make notes or flashcards on the topics (my history exam is on the 16th)

Hello! Could you send over the exam questions that you know of. I'm doing the same but running out of questions !!

When I revised, I'd talk it back to myself aloud. I'd even do it when I was jogging. It tended to help a lot. You could try talking it back and recording it on your phone. Then play it back to yourself. Also, if there was something wasn't "sticky" in that I couldn't keep it in my head, I'd write it out over and over and over until it stuck.

what I did was I made all my flashcards on quizlet, then printed them out on a document and summarised each card in my own words next to the definition. with ones you need to remember very specifically like a timeline: read it, write it out, cover it up and try and write from memory - repeat until you've got it. this is better for cramming but that's the only way I can get history to stick in my head lol

Hey, I’m a former A Level History student who studied the Tudors, and is starting their 2nd year at Oxford University now. I offer some tuition on the side, so I would love to tutor you for The Tudors! I too struggled with it — went from a D in mocks to an A*, achieving a 98% in my actual paper! I have loads of techniques, notes and essay plans, and even my marked exam scripts from my actual A Level to help you get the grades you want. Just pop me a dm and I’ll be happy to help!
