, essay plans are very very useful! in terms of blurting, the whiteboard method is great! you can skim-read through some notes and then blurt everything afterwards and then fill in the gaps!!also, spaced repetition is very useful

Depends if it’s an interview memorising and reading out loud seeing what I can remember

Check out this fab page of revision tips and a guide from @BCU Student Rep

Maths and Further Maths - Doing as many questions as possible. I don't need to do it for Maths because it's an easy A* but for Further Maths, I need to do as many as I can. Work out what's hard and do just that. You'll never make any progress with your study doing easy stuff and stuff you know well.
Computer Science - I've made my own set of online flashcards which cover the entire course so I'm just going off that. I only need to get 60% at the top end to get my grade A (because our whole set scored an average mark of 59 on the NEA but we don't know who scored what, which we will find out next week!).
Chemistry - The A level that I probably have to do the most work for. I have to do so much work because we are so far behind but I only need an A for my firm choice.
STEP II - Absolutely no clue 😂...it's hit or miss at the moment. I'm yet to get a calculus question or a trig question wrong but that's about the only thing I'm half decent at...Everything else, I'm god awful at.

I like using flashcards and practise questions/papers for all of my subjects and then for RS I also like to make mind maps and essay plans as well.
I like to revise to teach, if that makes sense
It's v similar to blurting, but if you can get some friends or a parent you can study to teach them about a specific topic, because it sticks easier
The Feynman technique is also one I like, about breaking a topic down to a level you'd be able to explain it to a kid

GCSE
•
memorise your general conversation questions and then practice with a friend to make it sound more spontaneous/natural - I still have mine and I got a 9, I can pm you them if you want an example
•
past paper questions to help you improve your exam technique
•
grammar practice
•
translation practice
