i mean more broadly...
go over past papers?
read notes?

 

[Libbster]

I basically looked at past papers and took a gamble on what was going to appear in the exam. I had already done some practice essays and mind maps relating to the pharoah's achievements and then I just studied broadly for society and cleopatra and then focussed on things i thought might come up. Lucky for me they did and I ended up getting 97, so don't stress! But make sure you get a good rank ie first, because I came 2nd and beat the person who came first, (they got 93) and thus got pulled down to 95.

 

[Celebrant]

I read over my notes one last time and also the separate notes I make to answer the points in the syllabus. I also look at past papers again to make sure I can answer all the questions they have in there but this isn't as important to me as the notes-reading

 

[angelduck]

i'd also, worked well for essay prep, go through the past papers and spend say 10 mins on each essay, write out a plan and an intro paragraph, this way when it comes to the exam you shuold be prepared for the questions

Hmmm, learning all those terms is risky in that you might get into the exam, remember a bunch of definitions, and not actually know anything substantial.

It's a day before your exam..
how do you study for Ancient History in this final 24 hours?

Go through all your notes and organise your information and evidence (primary and secondary) into topic headings (use the syllabus guide thingo). Then, once it's all together, and it may take a while, look at just your topic headings and ask yourself what you know about those topics. If you find you know very little, go back through your info try to learn it, then put it away and repeat the process untill you're feeling confident.
