for sociology, tutor2u and hectic teacher resources really helped me! if you don't have time to make notes, they have summarised knowledge organisers and independent work booklets because for sociology doing as much exam practice as you can is really helpful, revision wise, active recall helps, basically go over one theory/concept a couple of times, repeat it to yourself a few times, and then keep recalling it over a few days helps transmit it into your ltm, mix up revision techniques so maybe one day you could watch a tutor2u video instead etc, mindmaps and there's lots of free helpful resources on both tutor2u and hectic teacher that really helped me so i hope that helps you too! :smile:

Thanks, I never really thought of watching revision videos as revision as I thought it was more passive but I'll try inputting what you've suggested and see if it works 😁👍

Hi @_Blessing_ ,

Many forms of revision can be done. Revision such as 'Revision world'
Sociology A-Level Revision | Revision World
Psychology A-Level Revision | Revision World
Biology A-Level Revision | Revision World

Also look at the revision tips section - Exam Revision Tips and Advice | Revision World.

I'd recommend looking on YouTube for the subsections that you might struggle with.

Hope some of these tips will help, good luck in your exams!

Best wishes
