100 FlashCards in a month

So I have a month left before my mocks and I have around 100 Flashcards to learn for my psychology mocks. Any tips or ideas on how I should do this or if its even possible

Do past paper questions
identify weak areas
Improve weak areas - this is where flashcards are useful
Repeat!

In theory by doing this you will always improve your weakest areas hence always getting better, additionally this will stop you revising stuff you know and are confident with - not worth revising.

Happy revising!

Hi,

Some advice would include:

Spaced repetition! Starting soon and repeating multiple times. A proven way to enhance the quality of remembering something. Flashcard apps such as Anki use an AI-powered algorithm that suggests you the flashcards to learn based on how well you know them.

Change the ways in which you learn them: perhaps matching the flashcards under timed conditions or turning them into test questions/ MCQs are some of the approaches. There are many online flash card apps that support different learning styles.

Rewrite and rephrase them: some people are physical learners and rephrasing/summarising information helps you to ensure that you understand it and are not just memorising.


It is definitely possible if you stay consistent!
Good luck!
