Getting into a rhythm of reading through to news critically and taking down examples that seem relevant (e.g china - us relations) will help as you'll have a good bank of info to use in your sacs.

Glopol is different to other subjects as you can't really spam questions for it (in my opinion), as a result you would be better off reading through the textbook to familiarise yourself with the content and what is relevant, but remember also that everyone and their dog will be using examples from the textbook, so it pays off to find your own, to 'separate yourself from the herd'.

Think of the textbook like a springboard; the bare minimum info is there, but you need to put in your own effort to find good examples to get the high marks.

One thing you can spam though is definitions! The study design has a list of examinable definitions, and when I say examinable, I mean, they can literally ask you to define them. In recent years there's been a shift away from these definition questions, preferring instead to integrate it into a different question (imo), however they will be there in some form. This year they asked to explain cosmopolitanism iirc.

Just 'switching your politics brain on' and learning definitions should put you in good stead, however politics is a hard subject so any work you do will pay off :)

Ask if you need clarification, I'm a bit short on time right now so sorry for short response.
