Topic notes - I rewrite notes on topics I've learnt, try and do this after you've learnt it. That way you consistently make notes so you have everything in one place and don't have to write them all at the end.
•
Blurt - this is when you pick a topic let's say Hydrocarbons for chem, and you write down everything you can remember about it. Then you check your notes, and add in a different colour pen what you forgot. I also rate how I felt about the topic out of 5, so lets say I wrote down 5 out of 7 bullet points, I'd give that about a 4/5, but if I only wrote 2 out of 7, that may be more like a 2/5. Now you know where you struggle.
•
Flashcards of parts you struggle on. If there is something you ALWAYS forget or a long process you need to remember step for step make flashcards of it. These are also very handy the night before a test/exam to remind yourself of key points.
•
Past paper questions - cannot stress this enough! These are the types of questions that will show up, so practise them, mark them, practise them again!
