Studyblr!

DON’T

Don’t compare. The bullet journals on Tumblr seem perfect, but your bullet journal does not have to be absolutely perfect. I get down when I start comparing with others, so that is honestly one of the biggest don’ts when joining the bullet journal community.

Don’t make it unrealistic. A bullet journal is meant to be used and be an adaptable planner. It is not meant to be something you HAVE to spend six hours doing (but if you want to spend six hours working in your bullet journal, go for it!). There is nothing wrong with jotting down a simple to do list and not taking the time to make sure it is absolutely 100% perfect.

Don’t be afraid to mess up. There is nothing wrong with a mistake. I am the world’s worst at wanting to throw something away once I mess up. Don’t. Keep going. It will all work out in the end. Skip the page if you want, but don’t be afraid to mess up.

DO

Make your bullet journal yours. Add your own touch to your system. Don’t feel like you should do the exact same thing as everyone else.

Try new things and ideas. You don’t know how you will like something unless you try it. If it ends up not working, stop using it.

heyo!

Hi, it is really hard to revise because of the amount of content, this is how I revise:

Case Studies - There are so many case studies to learn so I try and summarise them in as few words as possible. I usually pick out 2 key pieces of data (a percentage/fact) which I can apply in the exam and then write a short summary of the study and it impacts - it can be useful to do this on flashcards to ensure you’re brief. I also pair the case studies (e.g. the LEDC and MEDC eathquake together and the different conservation plans like CITES and RAMSAR together) because the often come up in 6/8 mark questions as an ‘explore’ or ‘compare’ question

6/8 Mark Questions - It’s really important to practise longer answer questions frequently because (on my exam board) there is a 6 or 8 mark question for every single chapter. I usually take questions from the textbook/revision guide or from past papers. It’s really good to do these timed as well to prepare you for the exam.

Notes - For my geography notes I have tried to condense each chapter into 2 A4 sheets of lined paper. There’s a lot of information to put into notes so i’s really important to go through the entire section in the textbook/class book/revision guide to pick out the key information so that there’s no useless info in your notes. The condensed form of the notes mean there’s less reading to go through and this will hopefully make it easier to revise from.

I also use diagrams a lot in my geography notes because I remember them a lot more easily than text, and they’re really useful to explain processes like biome distribution and the milankovitch cycles. Also make sure you use highlighters in your notes to identify the most key words and points - so that when you look at your notes at a glance you can see the important parts.
