  8. How to revise for History • At both AS Level and A2, the revision techniques are the same: • You should spend 2 solid hours revising a section of the unit (it may be The First Crusade generally for Unit 1, or the spider diagram for the 24 mark essay for Unit 1, etc, etc) • This revision should take as many forms as it possibly can, for example re-writing your notes, making them into mind maps, making them into posters, reading them aloud • Then you should set a timer for 30-45 minutes and practice writing one sample essay without your notes. • Then you should download the mark scheme OR compare your essay to your notes OR take the essay to your teacher to be marked. In this way, you can constantly test yourself and see what you understand and what you need to work on more. • Then do this again with the next section of that unit!!
