Revision Techniques

First, make sure your class notes are complete. Next, summarise them into condensed packets of information. These can be in the form of:

  • Index cards/flash cards - these are found in Reprographics so ask your teacher
  • Bullet pointed information under topic headings. This could be done on PowerPoint if you want.
  • Colour-coded mind maps for each topic.
  • Record essential information and playback.
  • Any format you like that is successful for you.

Summarising your notes into the above formats is an excellent way to revise. These notes are then valuable revision tools right up until your exams. Run through them with anyone who will listen, even the cat!
