Refining my study routine - Advice needed!

Hey everyone,

I’m currently revising for Sociology, Economics, and Business, and I could use some advice on improving my study routine. I have until 12th May to learn everything, so I want to be as efficient as possible.

Here’s what I’ve been doing so far:

Sociology (OCR) Going through the textbook, summarising notes, and making flashcards.

Economics (AQA) Using Up Learn, summarising notes, and creating flashcards.

Business (Edexcel) Using Save My Exams notes and making flashcards.


I’ve almost finished Paper 1 content for all three subjects. After I'm done with the paper content my plan is to focus on questions and memorisation, then follow a similar structure for Paper 2 next month. However, I feel like I've been missing something, and since I'm teaching myself everything I can't afford to make mistakes.

Does this seem like a good approach? Is there anything I should add or change to make my revision more effective?

Would love to hear any tips—thanks in advance!
