How much info do you put on each card? I find I put way too much on the card... but there is so much to remember!! :tongue:

Yeah same actually, I just feel like I have to cram so much info. All the studies melt my brain :lol:

Well im putting as much as possible! ;D You're right there's way too much! But im starting off by writing each study down, who its by and the sample. Then once I've learned all them, im adding the aim to each card and learning that. Then im gonna keep adding to the cards and learning little chunks at a time :smile:

until i've learnt everything. I hope it works :biggrin:

There is! Studies like Ainsworth take up so much space! And all the evaluation too :lol:

Yeah, and then reduce the info down until you get to key words that help trigger information :yep:

What have you covered so far? We've done unit 3, and most of unit 4 apart from Issues and Debates, which we're starting soon :tongue:

Which one are you retaking? Unit 1 or 2?

Yeah, there is so so much to learn! I make revision notes and then use key words for revision cards. Which topics in 3 and 4 do you think are hardest/most to learn?

colour coding works for me - green for positives and red of negatives. I think just generally writing it out a few times helps to process it :smile:
