![Page 2: How to revise!. Remember! Different strategies work for different people Learning styles: –visual, –auditory, –kinaesthetic (practical) You need to use](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e6f5503460f94b6c795/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
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!. Remember! Different strategies work for different people Learning styles: –visual, –auditory, –kinaesthetic (practical) You need to use](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e6f5503460f94b6c795/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!. Remember! Different strategies work for different people Learning styles: –visual, –auditory, –kinaesthetic (practical) You need to use](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e6f5503460f94b6c795/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. Quarrying Limestone
Advantages Disadvantages
Used to make cement and glass
Noise pollution and increased traffic

When writing lists…….
• If you use a colour (e.g. green for good and red for bad) use the same colours every time
• Use a different colour to highlight
• 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. ‘Recycling is good’ would become ‘Recycling uses only 5-10% of the energy used to extract a metal from its ore’

Using labelled diagrams
• An excellent way to learn especially for visual learners!
![Page 9: How to revise!. Remember! Different strategies work for different people Learning styles: –visual, –auditory, –kinaesthetic (practical) You need to use](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e6f5503460f94b6c795/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
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

Mind maps• Like a star / spider diagram but contains
much more detail and demonstrates links between material more clearly
![Page 11: How to revise!. Remember! Different strategies work for different people Learning styles: –visual, –auditory, –kinaesthetic (practical) You need to use](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e6f5503460f94b6c795/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!. Remember! Different strategies work for different people Learning styles: –visual, –auditory, –kinaesthetic (practical) You need to use](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e6f5503460f94b6c795/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Mnemonics
• Use the first letter of a series of words to create another word
• The sillier the better! E.g. OILRIG )
O oxidation R reductionI is I isL loss G gain of electrons
![Page 14: How to revise!. Remember! Different strategies work for different people Learning styles: –visual, –auditory, –kinaesthetic (practical) You need to use](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e6f5503460f94b6c795/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
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!. Remember! Different strategies work for different people Learning styles: –visual, –auditory, –kinaesthetic (practical) You need to use](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e6f5503460f94b6c795/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Revision card example
Ionic bonding
Metal bonds with a non-metal:
•Metal loses electrons to form positive ion
•Non-metal gains electrons to form a negative ion
•Oppositely charged ions attract
•Overall charge = 0

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)

Auditory learners
• Record your notes as an mp3 file (and listen to them!)
• Speak aloud
• Tell someone else what you have learned
![Page 18: How to revise!. Remember! Different strategies work for different people Learning styles: –visual, –auditory, –kinaesthetic (practical) You need to use](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e6f5503460f94b6c795/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. Reaction rates .…. How do things link together? What affects rate and why? What make particles collide successfully?
• Use mind maps
![Page 19: How to revise!. Remember! Different strategies work for different people Learning styles: –visual, –auditory, –kinaesthetic (practical) You need to use](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e6f5503460f94b6c795/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Other points!
• To get you started, make your first revision session 5-10 minutes – then have a break
• You should then find it easier to go back to• Organise yourself• Plan a revision timetable• Take breaks of 5-10 minutes every 25 minutes• If you are worried speak to someone!• DON’T leave it all until the last minute

Task!
Do past exam questions – and get them marked! You need to know if what you are doing is working.
