History

1. Reading books about the Tudors and the Civil War - it is easier to only read the relevant chapters in each book when you have covered the general topic in class.

2. Make essay plans and source essay plans - these help to focus your revision to ensure you will be able to tackle the exam question effectively, as opposed to just learning lots of facts.

3. Listen to the David Blight Yale University lectures on the Civil War and Reconstruction - these offer an in-depth yet concise summary of the ENTIRE course.
