Top tips

• Find out exactly what you are expected to be revising. Check in your IL diary, exercise book, Moodle and Planner Live.

Make a revision time table

• I have emailed you a template and up loaded it to moodle. Your tutor has some printed ones if you prefer. Use this to start you off.

• Can you make a better one?

Make note cards of your notes

• Use colour, pictures and keep them brief.

Mind maps

• Colour• Pictures/images/symbols• Humour• Exaggeration• Group• Use curvy lines that thicker near the centre and

get thinner as they radiate out– write along the lines, this means that you cab keep adding more information.
