Blurting: Blurting is essentially memory dumping what you can remember from a piece of text on a given topic. This revision method is great for essay based subjects such as English and History. The tools necessary are two different coloured pens, paper and a textbook or a mindmap. First you read the information from a textbook or mindmap, then you give yourself a limited time (perhaps ten minutes) to write everything that you can remember in one coloured pen. Then finally reread the text and write the information that you missed is the other pen colour. This will help you to recognise what you remember and what you do not. This method is good for students who have a limited time to revise using an active recall method.
Watching videos: watching short videos on a topic that you do not understand is good because the teacher in the video may explain the information in a different way. This is also good for clarification. This method should be used for topics that you have already learnt in class and the video should be relevant to the exam board that you are doing. Videos that contain pictures are even better, this will draw your attention more and is good for visual learners
Mindmaps: another great method for visual learners, simply the act of making a mindmap is revision as you have to explore a topic and write about in a condensed form. Mindmaps should be colourful and engaging. But also simplified, you should not be writing chunks of information on the page as that would be a form of passive recall which isn’t as useful.
Overall, all forms of revision should involve active recall as that will help with memory, especially in these upcoming weeks.
