Successful academics, please give me some of your best methods of retaining information for written examinations. I'm studying A-level English Literature, History and Philosophy and, though I know my understanding of these subjects is fine, my memory is not great and I am terrified by the very large amount of precise information I must remember before this June. What are some revision techniques that have served you well? Forgive me if this is not the most suitable board, I don't venture out of /lit much so I trust this one the most to give me a good answer.

I found that writing practice essays helped me remember information at A-Level. It gives the information context and purpose.
