Hi, so did Macbeth at gcse and came out with a 7. I would recommend watching a few productions of the play on YouTube, (just search ‘Macbeth full play’ and take your pick. I’d personally recommend the old Ian McKellen and Judi Dench production as it is iconic!) that will help you understand the play better, make you familiar with the plot and hopefully help you remember some key quotes. For key quotes, you can get flash cards online, for example https://quizlet.com/gb/704941916/10-key-quotes-in-macbeth-with-in-depth-analysis-flash-cards/
I would also recommend making physical flash cards, as writing quotes down physically will help you remember them.
As to understanding Macbeth in general I would recommend the following teachers on YouTube:

Good luck, you’ve got this!
