2. MATERIALS
NOTE TAKING: Text books/revision guides/class notes open at the right pages
Any electronic extras ready at the correct pages
Aim to summarise all of the information in front of you into notes that
are in your own words in a way that helps you remember
You should not be copying from a book!
Ideal goal is to reduce content into memory prompts
LISTS: Summarise text/content into key points
You need to be self-disciplined and not write paragraphs
Check this against mark schemes (5 marks, 5 bullet points)
MIND MAPPING: Topic name in the centre and key facts branch from this start point
Make them colourful
4. FINALLY
Make each strand unique as a way to memorise
You need to be able to decipher them and use them again
DIAGRAMS: Turn words in diagrams
Sequence events or cycles as a way of memorizing
FLASH CARDS: Reduce information to fit onto strategy cards
You can combine diagrams, mind maps and notes etc. on these
Put questions on one side and answers on the other
Randomly select cards and get someone to test you
POSTERS: Make them big and bold
Put them on the walls around the house
MEMORY: Regularly revisit flash cards, posters, lists etc.
CHUNKING: Group information together to make it easier to remember
Find a rhythm to remember like remembering your mobile number
MNEMONICS: Translate information in a way that is easy to remember e.g. MAMS in
science when calculating empirical formula M-mass, A-atomic mass,
M-moles and S-simplify
PAST PAPERS: Download these from the internet or ask your teacher
Test yourself under strict timings, assess using the mark scheme, revise
the bits you couldnt do then try the questions again
