for the british history AS exam just gone i made notes with sharpies and stuff and put them on the wall. make them colourful so they'll stick in your mind.

History is the easiest subject to revise for - I dont like mind maps so I just list everything to each persons reign/time. So for example that'd be Tsar Alexander II - listed dates + facts/events and the same then goes for Tsar Alexander III, Tsar Nicholas II and Vladimir Lenin.

I do the other history course, Charles V and all that shizzle.
Basically, I just read through my notes, that's it.

Use flash cards they really help, it helps by breaking down each section

You should have the typical kinda of questions that come up in exams and revise how you'd structure those. With what each para would cotain. Look at past exam questions, often a lot of them are quite similair concepts and they just reword the questions. There usually are about a few set questions that can come up for each topic, you could even predict what would come up that hasn't come up in years.

If you know what to write for each typical paragraph in a essay then your good becuase I know just reading pages and pages of history books is always good to obtain information, yet won't ever translate too well into the actual history exam.
