A-level Revision HELP

Hey, A levels are different from GCSEs as you are well aware so revision is definitely needed.
Thanks for reaching out, what a fascinating combination of subjects, especially the EPQ!!!
What's angle you are looking at Thatcher from?
For History, I have created a mind map for each chapter, I do wars of the roses, international relations 1890-1941 and civil rights in the USA.
These mind maps include all key info, dates, people, events and are usually on 1 A4 piece per chapter.
Then I do active recall where I basically do look, cover, speak to myself and then blurt all the information out onto a blank page from memory.
A friend uses Gizmo as do I which is useful for flashcard revision, it is an easily downloaded app. Quizlet is also a popular one.
And of course practicing essays is always a sure fire way to improve and ask your teachers to mark them.
Hope this helps )

Helloo, I am in year 12 and hoping to study Law or International Relations at a top university . I do History , Psychology and Chemistry A-levels (yh ik weird combo ) and need help with how to revise certain subjects ESPECIALLY HISTORY because i did not do history at GCSE . I will be honest i have not revised or made much revision resources so qny help will appreciated .I do :
- AQA psychology
-Edexcel Chemistry and
- Ocr History (Russia and its rulers ,french revolution ,Britain 1930-1997 and EPQ on margaret thatcher )
I know i need to LOCK in but i got mid results at GCSE - 98777776665 with basically no revision and mid parental divorce so i never learnt how to revise and I want to get A* and As 😞😞 but rn im like at a BDD or BCD . Chem is my worst , psych i just need to revise ( my 16 markers are DRAGGING ME SO BAD i get 4/16) and I get Bs in history with no revision BUT IK I NEED TO REVISE and i cant rely on my memory.
Also is wider reading useful for history??
OK THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH PEOPLE ❤️❤️

Thank you sooo so much for the advice . In terms of the mindmaps I find it difficult to summarise the content as I feel everything is important 😓😓😓 (one of my teachers gives us a HUGE A5 sheet every lesson and i feel as if I need to know every detail and i get overwhelmed 😬) HOWEVER I will try this method and stick to like an A4 or A3 MAX to avoid overloading information .
In terms of the EPQ i meant to say that my history Coursework is on Margaret thatcher apologies !! Im not sure what question im doing yet .
In terms of my EPQ i am stuck if I should do it on a law related topic or not . I have until next Friday to decide 😞 For a law related topic I am thinking of either :
Should children be allowed to appear as a witness in court and what impact does it on them psychologically ?
Or
Should the media be allowed to report on court cases while trials are ongoing ?
Or
How effective is the ICC and the UN in genocides ? With focus on the Bosnian genocide
