Hi! I'm in year 13 currently and my teacher gives us soo much reading and note taking!! My advice is to have a separate folder for all you readings and another one for any work or notes. Make sure you have good dividers that have the contents page in the front so you know what is in which section! keep the specification in the front too so you know if you'll be missing anything! make sure all your notes are suitable for revision and looking back on!! I also just find note taking on google docs easier and faster! And make sure you're always making timelines and mind maps for revision!! GL!

do it as you go along. i didn't study those modules, but in general just memorise as much as possibly as you go. make sure you keep good grades in yr 12!

do many practice questions but don't stress yourself out about them. know how to categorise and answer specific alevel questions. history isn't as hard as it seems, just know everything by learning on the go and you'll be chill lol
