Exam period tips: Revision methods
1) Flashcards : electronical or handwritten
2) Blank sheet method : 1 piece of paper 15 minutes.
3) Timeline: make a line and put in the different stages of development or plot development of a story. Be creative with this, it doesn’t just work in history class.
4) Mind maps: Start with the title, and build around it.
5) Illustrations: I always use illustrations or flowcharts to better remember the text. Maybe you can summarise the chapter in a drawing?
6) Post-it wall: this is great especially for memorisation. I like to put the post-its on the back of my door, and they kinda work like flashcards. Each morning look at the wall, explain every post it once, if your not sure, look at the back where I put the explanation. When you are certain you know the phrase, store the post-it on the side as a reminder of how much you know, and so that you can revise it at the end of the week.
7) Audio: listen to audiobooks about your subject, or just download the sound to that youtube video that explains it all.
8) The teacher: act like a teacher, and explain it to your study group, parents, friends, cat or just the wall. Talking out loud about a subject might expose your weak points and help you strengthen them.
9) Memory roads : MEMO, this is a concept I my grandmother loved to use, and introduced me to. Have a look at it : http://www.oby.no/whats-memo/?lang=en
