Revision strategies

Revision should be a regular feature of your studies. You should plan to revise little-by-little throughout the school year, and avoid the 'cramming' that some people do when your school finishes for study leave. For Modern Studies, as with any subject, there are many ways to revise. Simply re-reading your notes isn't enough - you need to actively do something with your notes to help you retain the information. Furthermore, one revision strategy will work for some people, but not others, so you need to try different strategies and establish what works for you. The images below feature some suggested revision strategies for Modern Studies. The list comes from my own experiences, as well as strategies other candidates have used. The list is not exhaustive, and you might have other strategies which benefit you better.
