Watch a vid about your history and write down some key words; if you can, read a summary about the history or have a friend who knows it and ask for a storytime (that usually helped me) 1 reply

For that exam I got 92% I was surprised but really proud. Good luck!! I think it's still possible for you if you grind and focus on the important things and memorise! A...... 1 reply
