I'm not too sure how to actually revise for History.
I am a visual and audio learner but I hate all the notes I have from my old history teacher
any suggestions for me.
I really need to get this sorted out for my exams!

My teacher just gave us all the questions for Divided Union from 2000 onwards in the exam papers. I'm just going to do all of them and that will be my way of revising. This isn't a bad idea is it?

It's a great idea.
But make sure that you also cover all those issues in the syllabus which haven't happened to come up yet as questions.

I think using colour and hilighting key words work for me. also look at the key parts of the sylabbus i no we have key points and i have tried to answer the key questions from them also past papers and questions and plenty of them to get you used to getting the method x
