Revision Techniques
Mind Maps
Flow Charts
Information can be seen quickly and act
as a visual aid.
They help you remember links and
connections and strings of information.
Put them around the house for
regular revision.
Look online for examples or at the
'Learning Mats' for inspiration.
Be The
Teacher!
Select a subject, then select a victim
(friend or family member is good).
Teach your victim everything you know
about a topic – see if they can explain it
back to you.
You can also get your 'victim' to ask you
questions about that topic.
This is a great way to identify any gaps
in your knowledge.
Repetition
It's all about 'rehearsal'!!
You want to move all the stuff that you
learn in lesson and revising from your
short term memory into your long term
memory.
Regular repetition of knowledge will
strengthen it.
