History

Use the checklists e.g.  the ones at the front of the revision guides to ensure you revise each small chunk of the course in an organised way. It is essential you know a minimum of three key things about each sub-section or topic.

Always think about how you can use examples to weigh up importance/significance/consequences/causes.

Make sure you are completely secure with each exam paper - what will be in it and what style of questions?

Practice exam questions regularly. It is the best way to secure your knowledge of a topic, as well as hone your exam technique

Attend all Period 6 sessions

Start with an exam style question - revise the section - then write the answer.

Eventually build up to answering the revision question without the revision notes in front of you.

Quiz yourself or ask someone to quiz you. It works.

Use your exercise books from Year 10-11 to help with revision – write in them, annotate and highlight key details. Use these alongside your revision guides and textbooks. All resources are available on our google classroom – make sure you can access them or have your own copies.

Do your weekly revision and watch all the GCSEPods you have been set- get into a routine of doing this. 

Always ensure you mind-map/note the key points. Just reading will not work as effectively.
