All students have access to a range of revision materials:

• A guide on how to revise history
• Examples of how to undertake revision
• Access to all lessons undertaken in class
• Access to digital textbooks and revision guides endorsed by AQA

All students will be provided with individual revision booklets for each module which will aid them in the creation of revision resources. Students are encouraged to focus on individual topics during each revision session and ensure their revision is active. This means creating revision resources such as mind maps and flash cards. Students should then use their revision workbook, as well as accessing past papers to test themselves on the subject they have just revised.

To encourage good practice, students should use their cue cards to test their factual knowledge alongside creating more detailed revision notes/mind maps for each of the topics shown in the revision guides.

Exam Preparation

In addition, students are set a weekly practice quiz through “Satchel One”. Students are given weekly questions to answer in lessons which should be completed under timed conditions to practice their exam technique. Students will receive feedback on these and are expected to improve their answers where necessary to aid their progress, and further practice the questions at home.

Additional Support Sessions
The department will be running additional support sessions on Wednesday mornings from 8.00am-8.30am from Term 3. There will also be an after school session on a Thursday from 4.00pm - 5.00pm.
