There are a range of techniques available to gather information for revision. Here are a few examples:
Revision Cards
1. Make notes on an area of study. This could involve highlighting information in a revision book or writing information out. Grade C+ students avoid copying huge chunks of text. They read the information - then summarise it.
2. Once you have gathered notes summarise your notes on revision cards - blank postcards or post-it notes are good for this. You can then stick them all around your bedroom, toilet, bathroom etc! Click here to see an example of a revision card.
3. Read your cards through regularly. Once you're confident about knowing the information write key words about the topic on a card. Then revise from these. As your knowledge base builds up you will need fewer prompts to remember information.
Mind Maps
A mind map is a spider diagram that contains information in the form of pictures and text. Mind maps can be used to plot information relevant to the different topics in geography.
