How do I revise for essay questions?

The best way is to make a rough plan for each essay question subject you may expect to see in the exam. Make notes on what you would talk about in the introduction, for each paragraph (point, evidence, explain), and for the conclusion. The best way to practice this is to do mock exams and read the book at least three times, so you know which areas are important, and can quickly refer to them in an exam.
