Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

How do you make revision notes?

Or any other notes for that matter?
For me, the normal note format on lined paper looks too much like a textbook. I don't like it. :grumble:

But I don't know how else to revise. Things such as flashcards and post it notes aren't detailed enough for me. Any advice?? :confused:

I can't remember cos I'm on my phone, but I'll get back to you when I'm on my computer (think it's just a standard report theme though :tongue:

) Multilevel lists > all :colone:

Thanks!

Yeah, it looks great.

I'm going to use a combination of this and the Cornell notes system, I think.

I used to get the revision cards with small lines on and write as much as I could on them, so basically still note format but in smaller chunks :smile:

I gave up this year and just did them all in notebooks instead, though :redface:

I have a system which always works for me but I've always thought that it depends on the person and you just have to try until you find a method which suits you.
I write notes on that section which are about three pages long for a half term of work. Then I highlight key terms an explanations an create questions on large cue cards which I learn by myself and then get someone else to test me.
If you have time I use past papers and then add notes to my notes on bits I got wrong or topics I need to expand on.
