Alternative revision techniques

2

Hi, I'm currently studying psychology, biology and geography and I would like to pursue marine biology in uni. I am really struggling on how to revise in yr12 and would like to know any alternative revision types to flashcards and mindmaps as I really cannot get my head around them and I generally just dislike the repetitiveness. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm in a bit of a ditch right now in terms of how well I think I will perform when exams arrive. Thanks

I would recommend other active techniques such as blurting etc for biology. I would say to gamify your revision techniques to make it more engaging and less 'repetitive' and therefore less potentially boring! Maybe do a match game for definitions in biology (as there are lots of them).
Hoped this gives you some insight on where you could potentially start xx

As Trickia says for bio, blurting is a good technique for geography. Have you thought of quizzing yourself on definitions etc or teaching others as these are less repetitive.
