Hey

Im currently studying AQA history and im undertaking my second year, i have a problem though that i cant answer long essays well. I know the stuff that i need to know to put into the question but i cant seem to get it down onto paper in the correct manor. Ive been searching around for advice on how to answer prolonged questions during exams and was hoping someone could help.

Thank you

James

There is a little page on how to learn (dates) here.
And more on general revision here.

The key requirement is familiarity - being so on top of the subject that you can flit here and there in it as needed.
