Best technique is to give yourself as little time as possible to revise so that your memory is forced to cram everything in. If you try remembering it over time, some things might be displaced or just decay from long term memory.

Revise it all then do loads of exam past papers. Usually i revise two weeks before my exams but thats when i have time.
Different methods work for different people, and personally, cramming it all in during the last few weeks doesn't work for me, but planning ahead and revising for at least an hour every night (apart from friday and saturday) works for me. Doing past exam questions and answering questions/taking notes from textbooks works for me. I usually jot down stuff I'm likely to forget onto a piece of paper and read that on the bus there and in the hall minutes before the exam starts.
I walk to school and the hour's walk is great revision time. Just thinking of sociologists/keywords brings all the topic back. Today was:
collective conscience - shared norms and values - functionalist - durkheim - function of religion - tribes - When we worship society, we worship God. So yeah two words brought all of that flooding back, that's what works for me.![]()
I don't know how to revise tbh, nothing ever works really. Had an exam today without revising and it was a piece of piss. If I revise for future exams, it'll probably be on the 1 hour and a bit train journey on the way in.
