Creating images can be one of the best ways to learn. A labelled diagram, flow chart or mind map often works far better than a page of dense notes.

Your brain loves patterns.
That’s why mnemonics are so powerful for learning.
Strange sentences → stronger memory.

Traffic Light Your Knowledge
Before revising, colour-code the syllabus:
🟢 Green – confident
🟠 Amber – partly understood

Finding it oddly reassuring (because Y13 are making me wonder if I actually taught them at all last year) that everything it talks about is what I teach, almost to the letter (the talk is currently on Leviticus vs Deuteronomy) #historyteacher #ALevel #EarlyTudors

Learning and juggling sounds ridiculous… but it works.
Try this study cycle:
20 mins learning 5 mins juggling
It resets the brain

Students often revise by rewriting notes. Unfortunately, that’s mostly passive learning. A better approach? Mind maps.

ost students think success comes from studying longer.

Most students revise content.
Far fewer practise exam technique.
Yet exam technique can easily move a grade from B → A.

Students often say:"I'm revising for my exams." But here’s the problem. Revision assumes the knowledge is already there. Most students actually need to learn, not revise.

Revision tip that actually works: revision isn’t reading — it’s retrieving.If you can’t get it out of your brain under pressure, you don’t “know” it yet.

Maths isn’t just exam questions.
It’s profit margins. Growth rates. Correlation. Compound interest.
If you can use spreadsheets properly, you’re applying GCSE & A-Level maths for real.
Spreadsheets = algebra in action.
