USE THE POWERPOINT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MENU

Organise your notes

• Make sure your notes are in order.
• Organise them into the what is required for each exam.

Priotise your revision

• Traffic Light checklists
• Then spend more revision time on the bits you don't remember
• Get help for the bits you don't understand

Look, cover, write check

Podcasts / tape make your own

• Download a relevant podcast
• Or record your own - Just reading out loud can help as you can't skim read
• Listen to them while doing other stuff

Reduction Summary - mind maps, reduce again - cue cards, cheat notes

Use prompt cards - revision notes in your pocket!

• Make some revision notes on small index cards.
• You can carry round these prompt cards for revising in short breaks.
• It's useful to have an overview of the course and its topics.
• Each card can contain a definition, a short list, a formula, or a summary.
• Don't try to fill the card with information. It will be difficult to read - and remember.
