Hi,

I found online revision cards as well as self written cards helped me loads, especially for remembering the different theories and theorists in language diversity. Try quizlet, this was great when I did my A Levels and I believe you can use it for free for a while, without having to subscribe.

I also found going onto your specific exam board website, for example AQA, OCR etc. Have a look over past papers, I printed a few out, had a go at them and then asked if my teacher could mark them, with a bit of feedback for me to reflect on. This was a massive help! I began just having a go to the best of my ability, then over time I timed myself, giving myself the same amount of time as I would get in the exam. If your teacher is not able to mark it or you do not wish to ask, you can get the mark scheme up on the website and mark it yourself, reflecting on your work alongside the mark scheme.

I equally found simple research into the theories and theorists was helpful, coming up with my own mind maps with all of the theories/theorists which might be helpful in the exam. The more you research and write it out the more likely you are to remember it for the exam.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have anymore questions🖤
