Memorise it!

Memory cards are a great way to condense your revision notes and help you remember all those important facts for the exams

  1. Summarise: Once you have written out your revision notes, it's time to condense that information into small manageable facts. This is where memory cards come in to play.
  2. Word power: For each topic, write bullet points of key facts on a set of index cards.
  3. Organise: Categorise the facts into sub-categories, then sub-sub-categories so you can understand how they all link together.
  4. Link: Don't just remember the key facts on the cards. They should act as prompts for all the other revision facts you've been learning.
  5. Portable: The great thing about small index cards is that you can put them in your bag/pocket and take them anywhere. That way you can look at them on the way to school or even when you're out shopping!
