I’d suggest putting all these into flashcards and if you are an auditory leaner like me, asking ChatGPT to make the key notes you need and put it notebooks llm. It makes a podcast for you on all the key information. Also learn how to do 8, markers, 16 markers, impression questions, things like that. There are so many useful videos on yt!!

Hope this helps!!

exam board is aqa if that's relevant. i'm doing america (1920s - 1973), tension between east and west (1945 - 1975), elizabethan england, and medicine. there are so many dates and bits of info thrown at us during lesson but i can't tell which bits of it i'm meant to actually remember, and which bits i can ignore. memorisation for history is my biggest weakness, my teacher said i could easily get higher grades if i just had more evidence, because my answer structures and explanations are all good.

you pretty much need to know all the dates, but with statistics dont worry too much just know the main ones and the main points to learn dates make a massive (and i mean massive) timeline and branch off info based off that for each event have to effects and two causes it spunds like a lot but if u have these drilled down then your acc answers will become second nature take it from someone who only lost 6 marks across all papers, it's very likely that the way u answer the qs is more harshly marked by ur teachers than the examiners as long as you have the basics covered and understand chronology and causes you will be ok
