What is the best way to revise for the exam(s)?

First of all, it is important to determine what kind of learner you are. There are many quizzes available online that can help you with this, or alternatively, you may be able to figure out which learner you are simply by thinking about the descriptions of each one. There are 4 learning styles which are commonly identified: visual, auditory, kinesthetic and reading/writing. Visual learners tend to prefer using techniques such as charts and diagrams, auditory learners learn best through videos and podcasts, kinesthetic learners may benefit from using games and moving around whilst studying and reading/writing learners tend to write out material and condense it in order to remember it better. Once you have identified which learner you are, you can determine the revision techniques which will be most useful for you. Having said this, here are a few ways to revise history which would hopefully benefit all learning styles. Posters are ideal for condensing important information - for example, you could use a poster for each significant historical event, or for each significant figure. You may find it useful to then further condense this information into flashcards. Timelines are also useful - you could make a general timeline for an entire topic as well as timelines for political events, economic events etc. There are many podcasts and videos online which provide excellent summaries of information, and these are particularly useful as you can access them whilst doing other activities. Making your own recordings to listen to is again a way to condense the information which you believe is most pertinent to your exam. After you have recorded the information you need to learn using these methods, it is important to test yourself, have someone else test you and/or to teach the information to others.
