🧠💥 Revision Technique #3: Knowledge Splat 💥🧠

Want to check how much you really know? Try a Knowledge Splat, a simple and effective way to consolidate your understanding and identify gaps in your knowledge.

Here’s how to do it:
1️⃣ Choose a Topic: Pick a subject or topic you’ve been revising.
2️⃣ Write It All Down: Without looking at your notes, write down everything you can remember about the topic - facts, formulas, key terms, anything!
3️⃣ Review and Improve: Compare your splat with your revision materials. Add anything you missed or correct mistakes.

Why it works:
🔸 Encourages you to recall information from memory.
🔸 Highlights areas you need to focus on.
🔸 Builds confidence as you see how much you already know.

💡 Pro Tip: Use Knowledge Splats as a warm-up or end-of-session activity to solidify your learning.

Try it this week and see how much your knowledge grows!

We would love to know what you are reading at the moment. Are you enjoying any of the same books as our students?

📖✨ Revision Technique #2: Flashcards ✨📖

Looking for a quick and effective way to test your knowledge? Flashcards are a fantastic tool to make your revision active and engaging!

Here’s how to use them:
1️⃣ Create Your Flashcards: Write a question or key term on one side and the answer or definition on the other.
2️⃣ Test Yourself: Go through your flashcards, trying to recall the answer before flipping them over.
3️⃣ Sort and Repeat: Separate cards into two piles - ones you got right and ones you need to revisit. Focus more on the tricky ones.

Why it works:
🔸 Testing yourself helps strengthen your memory.
🔸 Identifies what you know and what needs more work.
🔸 Quick and portable - study anywhere!

💡 Pro Tip: Use images, colours, or mnemonics on your flashcards to make them more memorable.

Start creating your flashcards today and boost your revision!
