good luck bro. (Y)Try not to remember everything, just the main dates and main points, also what matters is not just facts, but also understanding why events happened and what the consequences of them were. Depending on how seriously you want to take this read some historical fiction based on the events of the era you are studying, that will help you to understand the events.
Don't try to memorize names and dates like a list. It's possible, but you're more likely to forget.



Instead, try to really understand the concept you're studying. That's the only proven way to make something stick. Also, if you forget names and dates but can articulate the concept in depth, you will still score a few marks.
record things your teacher repeats. write down things like trees of significant families. try to remeber things like important wars by knowing how many years(ww1 1914-1918 4 years) and important things will come before and after and just pay attention!!!!!!!!!!!! good luck
Just study every day and you will remember it, you also have to find it interesting that helps.
