What's the best way to revise for my exams?

For Politics, good revision techniques are essential to help you process the wide range of information you cover, especially when studying global politics. The most important thing to do is print out all the questions from past papers for your course, and go through and bullet point what you'd answer for each of them. This helps you go over knowledge and practicing how you'd structure your answer. It's highly likely similar questions will come up in the next paper, so if you plan enough you should feel comfortable with the exam paper when you get to it. Alongside this, you should consolidate your knowledge. One really good method is making 'crib sheets' for topics, so for one topic that makes up 25% of one year from the course, such as 'Environment', go through all your notes and try to write all the most useful and essential statistics onto one A4 side. This is great for quickly reviewing the evidence you need before exams. Another great revision method is to print out the specification and make an A4 mind map for each subheading, with all the most important information and evidence you'd need for it. If you learn well by listening, you can try recording your own podcasts about this information using these resources and listening back to them.
