Revision techniques Flash cards/revision cards These are useful for summarising content, key word definitions and important facts. Use colours to make certain things stand out – for example, you could use different colours for advantages and disadvantages or for key words. You can test yourself using the revision cards.
Mind maps These are a really useful visual summary of information and you can put them on the wall. They allow you to show links between ideas and concepts. You can start by adding the topic to the centre of the diagram and then add the sub-topics around that and a summary of the information. Digital

Highlighting Making notes and highlighting key areas to go back to is a good way of working out what you know and don’t know. You can then use these notes as you come to your final revision. You can use different colours to highlight different factors or different types of information. For example, there are four different forms of ownership for business start-ups that you need to know for R067. You could highlight: •
key terms in red
•
advantages in green
•
ownership in purple
•
disadvantages in orange.
