Remember!
•Different strategies work for different people
•Learning styles: – visual, – auditory, – kinaesthetic (practical)
You need to use a range of strategies!
![Page 3: How to revise](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/55589f7cd8b42a2a738b4cd1/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What strategies can you use?
• Flash cards• Practice questions• Internet• Revising with / testing
friends• Labelled diagrams
• Writing notes• Writing lists• Underlining in notes• Star diagrams• Mind maps• Mnemonics

Writing notes
• It is better to rewrite notes than to simply read through work
• Don’t rewrite everything, you need to cut down on the amount of information
• Do make sure you have enough detail!
Summarise!
![Page 5: How to revise](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/55589f7cd8b42a2a738b4cd1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Writing lists
• Lists are a good way of remembering information or advantages / disadvantages for a topic
• Write lists as bullet points
• Use small pictures to help you e.g. SCHOOL UNIFORMS
Advantages Disadvantages
No pressure to wear the latest fashions
Lack of individuality
![Page 6: How to revise](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/55589f7cd8b42a2a738b4cd1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
When writing lists…….
• If you use a colour (e.g. green for good and red for bad) use the same colours every time
• 5 points is a good number to remember
• Little drawings are a good way of helping you remember points, even a silly drawing will help!

Using numbers!
You may be able to remember numbers more easily than names. If this is the case try to put figures with points where you can.
E.g. ‘Higher salaries’ would become ‘Higher salaries, factory workers can earn 3 times the wages of farm workers’
![Page 8: How to revise](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/55589f7cd8b42a2a738b4cd1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Using labelled diagrams
• An excellent way to learn especially for visual learners!

Underlining in notes
• Its difficult to remember a page of notes if they are all the same font and colour
• Use colour / different sizes for heading / key points
• Underline key points or draw borders round them
like this!
• Use diagrams, lists and pictures to break up pages of notes
![Page 10: How to revise](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/55589f7cd8b42a2a738b4cd1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Mind maps
• Like a star / spider diagram but contains much more detail and demonstrates links between material more clearly
• Can have whole topic on A3 page
• World cup example
![Page 11: How to revise](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/55589f7cd8b42a2a738b4cd1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Revising with friends
ADVANTAGES:
can talk about the work
can test each other
easier to remember facts if spoken out loud
DISADVANTAGES
Too easy to talk about something more interesting instead!

Exam questions
1. Use past questions as you revise to make sure you have the notes / case studies necessary to get full marks
2. Test yourself under exam conditions
![Page 13: How to revise](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/55589f7cd8b42a2a738b4cd1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Mnemonics
• Use the first letter of a series of words to create another word
• The sillier the better! E.g. Chap rut (glacial erosional features)
C orrie R ibbon lake
H anging valley U shaped valley
A rete T runcated spurs
P yramidal peak

Revision cards
• Put separate topic / case study on each card
• Keep topics together
• Don’t try to put too much information on each card
![Page 15: How to revise](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/55589f7cd8b42a2a738b4cd1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Revision card example
Population pyramids
Transitional stage:
•Decreasing death rate
•Gradually decreasing birth rate
•Longer life expectancy
•E.g. Brazil
![Page 16: How to revise](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/55589f7cd8b42a2a738b4cd1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Practical learners
• Post-it notes
• Walk around
• Use the rooms space e.g. one side of the room for good points, the other side for bad points
• Make shapes with your hands
• Make something (a mobile, a tower)
![Page 17: How to revise](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/55589f7cd8b42a2a738b4cd1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Auditory learners
• Record your notes (and listen to them!)
• Speak aloud
• Tell someone else what you have learned
![Page 18: How to revise](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/55589f7cd8b42a2a738b4cd1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Visual learners
• Use pictures, video
• Use coloured pens / highlighters
• Remember white space
• Form a ‘mental picture’ to try to ‘see’ the whole topic e.g. First World War causes…. How do they all link together? How do they link with what happened next?
• Use mind maps
![Page 19: How to revise](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/55589f7cd8b42a2a738b4cd1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Other points!
• DON’T leave it all until the last minute
• Organise yourself
• Plan a revision timetable
• Take breaks when revision e.g. 5-10 minutes every hour
• If you are worried speak to someone!
