Put post-its
with key info on
in places you
look at often
Draw and label
pictures/flow charts that will
help you remember key
information. Use colours
effectively
Mnemonics - Eg. STOP (Same signs Take
away, Opposite signs Plus for simultaneous
equations in maths)
Explain what it is/how to do
it to someone else (parent,
friend, sibling, anyone willing
to listen!)
Record yourself talking
about it and listen to it
Make up a song/rhyme to
a well known tune with all
key info in
Re-write your notes making them more
to the point and concise. Ask your
teacher if it doesn't make sense.
Make flash cards - key word on
the front, bullet points on the
back of main info.
Past papers - attempt them without
the mark scheme, if you're stuck look
up how to do it and try again before
reaching for the mark scheme.
Mind map - make it
colourful, make key
words stand out.
Test yourself or get someone
else to test you
You need to repeat and review
information for it to stick in your memory
so start revision early so you have time
to do this. Re-visit topics every few days.
