Active recall - see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukLnPbIffxE, https://aliabdaal.com/activerecallstudytechnique/
Active recall is particularly useful for subjects that involve a lot of facts
•
Flash cards
Helps with active recall when something was learnt quite a while ago, and you need a refresh or need to memorise something perfectly
•
Practice papers/exam practice - look for plenty of past papers and work on the problems, ideally under timed conditions
You are ultimately working towards your exams, so it pays to work through a paper and see where you can improve i.e. keep your eye on the ball
•
Analyse a particular topic from multiple points of view
Works particularly well for essays; prevents you from just seeing things one way and it helps develop critical thinking
•
One page summaries/mind maps
These help you review material; they meant to show you the bigger picture and jog your memory. If you can't fit everything on one page, then it's too detailed. If you need to keep referring to the material and including it on the map, then you haven't learnt the material well enough.
