Hey @alzhusss16

Sorry to hear this! I know I felt the same when I did politics at A-level, it all went in one ear and out the other. But I surprisingly ended up doing not too bad, so I thought I would share with you my top revision techniques.

First thing is to work out what you are struggling in, for example quotes, essay timings, content ect. For me it was really all of those things lol. And planning out your time can be really useful to make sure you can cover as much content as possible. Maybe make a time timetable working back from the exam date and plan what topic you are going to study each day/week. Also try and be realistic about how much time you have to revise and how long it might take to revise each topic so you can plan better.

The revision technique that helped me the most was creating essay question plans, adding the points and quotes that I would use. I did some of the questions in the textbook and also made up my own. This also helps you see which topics you are strong on and where there are gaps in your knowledge. I then made these plans into digital flashcards so I could refresh my memory wherever I was.

I would say look at key debates and if you are doing the comparison to the US look at those arguments too as they are the types of questions that will come up. I will add here some recent posts I have done that might give you some revision inspiration
