Spaced Repetition Schedule
How reviews are timed
Levo will automatically distribute all of your progress into a spaced repetition calendar. Once you’ve answered, it’s scheduled for you on the next day in the spaced repetition schedule. Over time, the gaps between your recall get bigger, from a day to three years, reinforcing memorisation over a long period of time.

History revision questions
Common questions about revising WJEC AS-Level History. Tap any to open it.
What is on WJEC AS History?
16 topics across 212 subtopics, examined in AS Unit 1 and AS Unit 2. They are all listed on this page, and each one opens to the subtopics inside it. The full topic list is Government, Rebellion and Society in Wales and England c.1485-1603, Government, Revolution and Society in Wales and England c.1603-1715, Politics, Protest and Reform in Wales and England c.1780-1880, Politics, People and Progress: Wales and England c.1880-1980, Political and Religious Change in Europe c.1500-1598, Europe in the Age of Absolutism and Revolution c.1682-1815 and more.
Does AS History count towards the full A level?
Yes. In Wales the AS units are marked as a standalone AS qualification and also carry forward into the full WJEC A level, which is why the first year matters more here than it does in England. Check the current weighting on the 601-5817-7 specification, as it is set by the board rather than by us.
What is the difference between AS and A level History?
AS is the first-year units only. The A level adds 10 further topics, among them Wales: Resistance, Conquest and Rebellion c.1240-1415, Poverty, Protest and Rebellion in Wales and England c.1485-1603, Reformation and Discovery: Europe c.1492-1610, and expects you to connect them back to the AS material. Work the AS content here, then move up to the full A level page when you start the second year.
When do you sit WJEC AS History?
Normally at the end of Year 12, in the summer series. That gives you one year to memorise 3,637 questions' worth of material, which is roughly 19 questions a day across an academic year if you start in September.
How should you revise for AS History?
By retrieval, not rereading. Cover the answer, pull it from memory, then check. Levo runs that loop across all 16 AS topics and brings each question back on a spaced schedule, so what you learn in September is still there in June.
Is it worth revising AS content again for the A level?
Yes, and it is the mistake most students make. The second-year papers assume the first year, and in Wales the AS marks usually count towards the final grade as well. Keeping the AS material on a spaced schedule through Year 13 costs far less time than relearning it.
How many questions are there for WJEC AS History?
3,637, written from the 601-5817-7 subject content and grouped into 212 subtopics so you can work one small area at a time rather than a whole topic at once.
Can you use Levo for just the AS year?
Yes. Pick your subject, choose the AS topics on the topic screen, and every mode — the 3-step method, Cram, Blank Blitz, Build It and Test It — works only that material. Add the second-year topics when you get to them.
Every question in History, on a schedule.
Attempt a question from memory, write the correct version, then attempt it again. Levo records the jump between your first attempt and your last, and brings each question back on the day you are due to forget it.
