OUR REVISION GUIDES

WHAT RESOURCES DO YOU USE TO ENSURE IT IS SPECIFIC FOR ME?

Our commitment to providing students with the most effective study materials is reflected in our approach, which incorporates a variety of key elements to ensure the utmost quality and relevance.

We use examiner reports to provide invaluable insights into the previous exam cycles, highlighting common pitfalls, frequently misunderstood concepts, and areas where students tend to struggle. By thoroughly reviewing these reports, we gain a deep understanding of the examiner's expectations, allowing us to tailor our guides to address these crucial points and maximise students' chances of success

The exam board specifications serve as the blueprint for the content and structure of our revision guides. These documents outline the key topics, learning objectives, and assessment criteria that students need to master. By aligning our guides closely with the exam board specifications, we ensure that students are equipped with the precise knowledge and skills required to excel in their exams

Additionally, we consult a team of experienced teachers who play a pivotal role in the development of our revision guides. These educators bring their firsthand classroom experience and deep subject expertise to the table, contributing insights, strategies, and explanations that resonate with students. Their notes provide clarity on complex concepts, offer valuable study techniques, and address common challenges, ultimately fostering a more engaging and effective learning experience

WHATS THE DIFFERENCE WITH THIS AND OTHER REVISION GUIDES?

Our revision guides introduce a novel and innovative approach, breaking away from traditional learning methods. We've meticulously curated our content to exclude any superfluous information, ensuring that only the most pertinent and essential concepts remain. These concepts are then presented in a question-and-answer format, carefully designed to align with how they are assessed in exams. This approach not only streamlines your study process but also provides a clear understanding of what examiners are looking for.

In addition to the question-and-answer format, our guides offer an invaluable tool for active recall. Following the conclusion of each chapter, you'll find a dedicated section that encourages you to test your own knowledge through spontaneous retrieval. This active recall technique has been proven to enhance memory retention and comprehension, ultimately aiding in your exam preparation.

To further enhance your exam readiness, we integrate valuable exam tips that are gleaned from examiner reports. These reports offer insights into common misconceptions and errors made by students in the past. By addressing these misconceptions directly, we empower you with the information needed to navigate tricky areas with confidence and precision.

In essence, our revision guides go beyond conventional study materials. They are thoughtfully crafted to optimise your learning experience by providing a focused, exam-centric approach, opportunities for active recall, and targeted advice based on the experiences of examiners. Your journey toward exam success is our priority, and our guides are designed to be your comprehensive companions on this path.

HOW DO YOU RECOMMEND IMPLEMENTING YOUR GUIDES TO MY REVISION STRATEDY?

We highly advise beginning your study process by developing a solid grasp of the fundamental concepts underlying each topic. This preliminary understanding lays a strong foundation for your learning journey and can be achieved through various effective methods. You might explore revision videos that elucidate complex ideas, delve into comprehensive textbooks that provide in-depth explanations, or actively participate in classroom discussions by posing thoughtful questions.

Once you've comprehended a topic at its core, the next step involves engaging with our revision guides. Take the time to meticulously work through the questions provided in our guides, ensuring you not only solve them correctly but also internalise the nuances of their answers. This approach is particularly valuable as it acquaints you with the specific phrasing and structure that examiners expect, ultimately enhancing your performance in the assessment.

Following this, we encourage you to leverage the active recall page situated at the conclusion of each topic. This section is designed to prompt a technique known as "blurting," where you spontaneously recall and articulate your understanding of the content. This practice serves as a powerful tool for reinforcing your memory and solidifying your grasp of the subject matter.

With a firm grasp of the concepts under your belt, it's time to embark on a crucial phase of your preparation: tackling as many past paper questions as possible. Engaging with these authentic exam questions offers a multifaceted advantage. It familiarises you with the exam format, exposes you to a diverse range of question types, and enables you to apply your knowledge in real-world scenarios. The process of consistently answering past paper questions contributes significantly to your retention and application of the information.

In essence, our recommended study approach comprises a series of interconnected steps. Understanding concepts through diverse resources, meticulously studying our revision guides, employing active recall techniques, and ultimately engaging with past paper questions all contribute to a comprehensive and effective exam preparation strategy.

DO YOU OFFER PHYSICAL COPIES OF THE REVISION GUIDES?

The release of physical copies for the revision guide is just around the corner! If feasible, we suggest acquiring both the digital and physical editions. The digital version boasts regular updates and incorporates supplementary sections such as examiner tips and anticipated 5/6 marker questions. This dual approach ensures you have access to the latest content and valuable insights for your preparation.

OUR FLASHCARDS

HOW DO YOU RECOMMEND I USE THESE?

A plethora of techniques are at your disposal to effectively navigate through your flashcards. It's crucial, however, to maintain an unwavering commitment to honesty while reviewing these cards. In other words, refrain from labelling a flashcard as 'easy' if you struggled to recall the information. This honesty is integral because the application employs intelligent features that tailor your learning experience based on the feedback you provide.

The CEO of our platform offers an insightful recommendation for optimising your flashcard learning process. This method involves obtaining a blank sheet of paper and manually answering each flashcard question. This practice serves to harness the power of muscle memory, as the physical act of writing out the concept reinforces your brain's connection with the information. This strategy proves especially advantageous in an exam scenario, where the act of recalling and transcribing knowledge is a key skill.

As you consistently engage in this practice of writing out the concepts from your flashcards, something remarkable occurs. Your memory becomes increasingly adept at recalling the information, and the process becomes second nature. This progression is noteworthy because it signifies that you've internalised the material to the extent that you can effortlessly articulate it verbally. This transformative journey from writing to vocal recall not only deepens your understanding but also equips you with a powerful tool for confidently addressing exam questions.

DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR ANKIAPP IF IM ACCESSING THE FLASHCARDS ON MY PHONE?

Not at all - you may chose to purchase the ankiapp unlimited version for extra features but it is not a requirement to review the flashcards

CAN I ACCESS THE FLASHCARDS ON QUIZLET?

Unfortunately not, whilst we would love to offer a quizlet version of the flashcards, quizlet is an open source website in which decks can easily be shared and does not follow the active recall principle defeating the purpose of our cards
