awwwwwwww you are too cute

GCSE? how dare thee 'tis AS
xx

Thank you!



Hehe - it's my escape from reality. I have far too much stationery

I know you're doing As - my memories are only from GCSE as I didn't take it further, so that's what I meant
I can only imagine the struggles you face - my friends who took it at As all got incredibly fed up...

Neuth

I have some notes that my teacher gave me about speciation - a generic answer to most questions - the cell-mediated and humoral responses and respiration which might help

Definitely subbing though and will be checking this every now and then

Good luck

Why is reflecting important?

Okay, imagine the following scenario...
You have an hour of free time to revise and a lot to get done. You pick up your textbook and revise in the way you've always done - just by reading the pages and trying to absorb what you think is important, maybe writing down the important bits (it's the way your favourite teacher told you was best in Y7 and you've never questioned it).

10 minutes in you're feeling bored/tired () and you don't have much motivation. You look at the clock or your phone and realise how much time you have left and sigh internally, much like David Tennant in the gif below.



Sound familiar?
I'm sure you've all been there before at some point.

The important thing to do if that happens is to realise that you aren't revising efficiently.
Perhaps your revision technique isn't something that works for you, perhaps you need to take shorter more frequent breaks, perhaps you need to eat a jelly baby after every page (), perhaps you need to change your revision strategies...

One thing you can do to work out what sort of revision techniques work for you is to do an online quiz where it'll tell you what type of learner you are... this is important because the more you know about yourself, the more you can know!


Wait... 'type of learner'... what?

There are 3 main types of learners...
1) Visual (who like to see)...
These learners like to use lots of colour and like drawing or making diagrams to revise topics. They retain information by remembering where/what is was located on.

2) Auditory (who like to hear)...
These learners like to discuss topics with friends and like listening to podcasts. They prefer to listen than to take notes.

3) Kinesthetic (who like to touch)...
These learners like to be active whilst studying and prefer to learn by doing.


Okay, so I've worked my learning type... what next?

This is the fun part - try out new ways of revising
Below are my top 5 methods for each learning type.

Visual Learners:Auditory Learners:Kinesthetic Learners:Posts coming soon...A guide to making perfect revision notes - aimed at visual learners.How I'm getting along with all my tasks and goals...

A Question: How do you take notes during lessons? Would you advice taking notes on apps such as Evernote and OneNote during lessons or even whilst revising or not?

This is all looking...

I personally write all my notes on paper. I prefer doing this as it's a quicker way (IMO) to get notes I find visually appealing and I can use tonnes of stationery to make them look the way I want, rather than messing about with formatting on my laptop for hours! This is probably because I know that if I write something down on paper I can't change it without writing it out again or using tippex, whereas if I used OneNote I could make endless changes

I always use narrow ruled paper which is 80gsm+ and has a coloured margin, and write my notes using a combination of biros, fineliners (my favourite fineliners are in the photo on my previous post) and coloured pens. Then I decorate them using more colour, highlighters etc., whilst making them visually appealing by adding shapes, diagrams and pictures I find colour schemes useful, and often colour co-ordinate my work for each subject. In Eng Lit I take this one step further by using post it notes of set colours to separate my notes (e.g blue for context points, yellow for important quotes, green for analysis etc.)

I'm going to make a post about this all later (making study/revision notes)

I do know people who use OneNote, and there are some great posts by bloggers on how to make perfect notes online which are worth looking for
It's also worth considering the idea that you could make a condensed "revision guide" style document before exams as a revision exercise, rather than constant class notes...

Hope this helps!

Thank you Love the gif!

Goodluck and I wish you all the best

Thanks, it does! Do you have the links of these bloggers? I would love to know how they use onenote effectively. Also where do you buy your stationary ( I'm absolutely jealous of you and how organized you are ) Also do you personally use the pomodoro technique whilst revising if so how? Like do you do a topic or even a section of a topic in each 25 minutes or... I'm currently stuck between choosing whether to do a 40 minutes with 10 mins break or pomodoro
And I would love to know how you make your revision timetable ( maybe you could do a post on that too?), currently I'm using a website called goconqr although it's very good, I don't know whether it's effective for me
I'm guessing you're a visual learner since you love to decorate your notes and make it more appealing to look at, which is an awesome idea I'll continue to write on paper and then when it comes to revising I'll make a condensed revision guide on OneNote xx thank you thank you thank you!!
