This group is still active but not much has been happening lately. However, people are still subscribed to the pages. What do you cover in history?

Britain 1850s-1979

appeasement and the road to war


^^above is completed topics ^^


and now on russia

I studied Britain and Europe 1485-1600 so that won't be much use to you.

that woulda been alot more interesting ... 1850 -> is mainly about polotics ... how the differnt parties became what they are, how the franchis increased and women and education as well i think

It's all politics in 1485-1500 too, though religion was a big part of the politics.

well i have never revised before ...

standard grades were jokingly easy, only revision taht i did was what was provided in school.


though i do need to revise for my highers cos ... i can barely rember what we did before christmas

I was the same (though it was GCSE's and A-levels). The synopsis papers were the worst. It wasn't until my last lot of exams (second year of degree) that I actually spent days on end revising.

Remembering what you did before christmas is good going.

i said i can't remmember what i did.

Well, 'barely remember' which involves some remembering at least.

Reading through it all is very dull but unfortunately necessary.

it depends on the subject ... how much i rember, but there i forgotten most of it...

One of my modules I didn't need to revise for but that was very much an odd one out. Reading and making notes is how I revise (unfortunately revision osmosis doesn't work ). It's dull and it's amazing the number of things that you just have to get done before you start revising...

i tried to make notes on a topic for history ... but didn't get faar before giving up......

It takes ages certainly. I remember my teachers giving summery sheets which helped, otherwise it can be very hard knowing where to start.

was taking notes from the sumamry sheet ....

Don't you then just end up with a few lines?

well waht actully was doing was taking the headers ... to then see how much i could rember after .....


but i kinda got bored ... and tat was jsut one topic ...

It's all very familiar. Frequent tea breaks and a plentiful supply of marswhmallows I found very helpful.

hmmm during my stadard grade final exams ... i cleaned my room


i didn't tidy it, i cleaned it ... i mover *everthing* and put it back clean etc


thats what attempting revision drove me too

Again that is all very familiar.

Before revision I normally tidy my room, dust, wipe and vacuum then clean the rest of the house. I do the laundry, clean the fridge, do any odd DIY jobs, water the plants, food shop, basically anything that isn't revision. Unfortunately though, the revision has to be done no matter how clean the house is and how nice it would be to do something else instead.
