How can I revise?
One of the most effective ways to revise is to produce flashcards and use them to help you revise.
A flashcard usually has a question on the front and an answer on the back.
On the right is a QR code which can be scanned to show you what flash cards are, how to make them and how to use them, but there are some outlines below:
-
Turn the information you are trying to revise into a question.
-
Write a short answer on the back – make sure it isn’t too long or it will be more difficult to remember it.
-
Quiz yourself on it. Repeatedly. Until you start to learn it.
-
Come back to that knowledge a few days later - do you still remember it? If not, repeat the process.
