3. Revision Booklets
See below for the revision summaries that have been created within the school. Use these to plug any gaps in your notes (along with the textbook), but use them with thought and ensure that you follow the checklist - your class notes / worksheets should be your priority. This particularly applies to the Cold War unit; your teacher will have selected particular pathways for you that you must be aware of before you start revising. Work in class is often much richer and already analytically structured. You also have published revision guides available to you that are strong.
