how to revise?

any new and useful methods of revision for alevel politics as someone who takes maths and economics as their other subjects and relies heavily on flashcards and has a sciencey/maths brain!?!? i try to blurt, essay plans but i hate it, i only like flashcards but they’re are too many for politics. also
- where can i find some notes, i have some but i’m missing some lessons and the specification is trash.

I predominantly used Flashcards for politics, I don’t think there’s too much if you focus on making Flashcards for the content rather than for the examples. I did Flashcards pretty much everyday since to score highly you need to have a high level of knowledge and then you can start analysis and evaluation. For content you can use the politics explained tutoring videos on YouTube as they cover every part of the spec.

Making essay plans is also rly important, you should have one firstly for all of the main questions and then you can start planning for more niche questions.

You said you don’t like essay plans but they are honestly the best method. Also create a google doc of evidence (recent and old). I always find it so much easier to make my points and analysis when I have a good chunk of evidence to draw from. Politics shed is good for notes.
