Revision Techniques

Hi all,
I have just received my mock grades for a level back and I have not performed as well as I had hoped! I just wanted to ask if there was any specific revision method or exam technique that I could use apart from flashcards, blurting and exam questions.
For context I do biology, chemistry and psychology.

Thank you in advance!!

I do biology and I mainly use flashcards, I'll be honest with you. How are you making and using your flashcards?

I use the AQA revision guide and mark schemes! I do make them on quizlet though.

for psychology, i recommend using essay plans so you are always prepared for a 16 marker that may come your way. to help maybe use the specification points to come up with these questions that could be asked. remember your outline, evidence and evaluation :smile:

How often do you go through your flashcards, do you use spaced repetition?

I went through them fairly often during the holidays before the mocks

Id also suggest prioritising topics that u dont know as well or find harder/take more time to learn.At this stage practice papers are the way to go and then focus on what u get wrong within those.Wishing u good luck
