Studying for excellence - created from Mind Map

Make it memorable Use colour Frame key information Use pictures and diagrams Link key ideas Use song / rhyme / rap Create your own examples Select your favourite colour for all excellence content

Have a plan Start with excellence, then merit, then achieved content. Fill in the gaps as you go. Learn what you don't know Set learning or revision goals for each study session - in this session I am learning to... / in this session I am revising... Use one page summaries Learn 3 to 4 things at a time Then assess yourself!! Write a new list of what you need to cover next time - I get / I think I get / I do not get... Regularly check you can recreate this summary from memory

In the moment 20 min - study 2 min - revise 20 min - study 5 min - break Make connections Learn most important information first Use all the senses Talk about it! Even better - teach it Do practice questions Revise most important information last
