You've had results day from January. You should by now know how many points you are going to need to get the grades you want to move on from College or Sixth Form. However this last push doesn't need to be you on your own! I've complied a list of websites and sources you may want to take a look at, as well as some tricks that you can do to not only help you live the subject but also help you achieve the grades you need and deserve. This is a golden opportunity in which you can evaluate what went wrong last time or what you can do better and do it!

Some General Tips:

  1. Be writing up your notes from lessons to cement your understanding
  2. Be practicing exam answers on the topics you have done and submit them to your teachers for marking
  3. If your exam board has run out of questions try the others as they may have similar options for you
  4. If your school/college Politics department has twitter follow them! Some good ones to follow as well for general politics are below
    1. AquinasPolitics
    2. Politics @ Xavs
    3. King's Politics
    4. Mr M J Evetts
    5. And of course myself as Tutor2u Contributor
