How do I revise in year 13?

Year 13 has been so stressful so far, idk how to revise y12 content on top of new content and do all this hwk at the same time
i do aqa politics, aqa psychology and aqa sociology

i did well in my y12 mocks but i wanna keep this up but im struggling with how to revise all this at once. my mocks are in january and i feel so overwhelmed

how much y12 content should i do a day/week? i try to do 2-3hrs a day after school, 45m per subject sometimes. i might try 30m y12 content and then 30m y13 content?

idk please help, how do i revise all this each day, each week effectively.

I am predicted quite high I would say and am in year 13, honestly from September I have not looked over AS content or revised it once and neither have my friends who are in a similar position to me in terms of grades, year 13 content is so hard to grasp that its completely normal to focus on just that from September till the holidays I would say. I am planning on revising year 12 content along with year 13 properly from the half-term holidays which are next week and with mocks starting at November 15th. At the end of the day, we have done year 12 content for a whole year and revised for it so now revision of it would be way easier compared to year 13 content, good luck!

Hi @educationamirite,

When I was revising, I came to this obstacle too. So this isn't something to stress over too much and many others will be in the same boat. I would say the best way to this is to find the right way that works for you. Something that could help with this are:

1: Creating a structured plan of what you will study each day. This doesn't need to be in a form of calendar but even just noting what you will study each day may help. It helped me to focus on one project each day rather then trying to focus on all three for shorter periods of time each day.

2: Have you tried making your revision more visual? This helped me as I am more of a visual person so watching videos was great or having diagrams within my notes too.

3: Lists helped me a lot too. Listing what my strength and weakness may be so I know what I need to spend more time on for each project.

4: Don't forge to take regular breaks and stay hydrated. This is something that helped me as I would begin revising without any breaks or liquids and then I wouldn't get as much benefits from the revising as I was tired and unfocused.

Hope this helps and good luck! πŸ™‚
