Dear ActEd tutors (and anyone else who might be able to help!),
I've finally finished the SA4 notes and am starting my revision. I went onto the ActEd online store to order my revision materials, and to my dismay I found that there aren't any flashcards or sound revision for this subject!
Though I haven't really done any exam questions yet, from the notes it seems that the SA subjects are quite a bit different to the prior subjects so I'm guessing this is the reason there aren't any flashcards/sound revision/revision notes etc? I only ask because the flashcards especially have really helped me with all the other subjects.
Perhaps this means I'll have to change my revision approach a bit... which leads me to another question, how does SA4 differ from ST4? The approach that's worked for me in the past is (i) memorise the core reading via flashcards (very boring but was effective!) (ii) get my idea generation techniques sorted (chapter headings, loads of acronyms, interested parties checklists etc) and (iii) practice lots of past papers via ASET. Does this sound like a reasonable approach for SA4? Learning the core reading will be a lot harder without my beloved flashcards!
Thanks all
Sam
