Post It!

I got 11 As and A*s at GCSE, and one of the best tips I have to achieve high grades is using Post-it notes. This technique is particularly helpful for spelling and languages. On one side of the post-it note, write a list of questions or words to translate, and on the back write the answers. Stick these all around your house (on the TV, on the fridge, on the back of the bathroom door) and whenever you want to use the TV or fridge or whatever, answer the questions or translate the words first! This allows you to repeat the same questions over and over again which helps you to remember them.

Comic style scrapbooking

You don't have to stick to the usual boring flashcards and mind maps when revising. I often use free paint swatches from DIY shops to make quick summary notes on studies. Also making your own revision guide throughout the course in your own style for example a comic strip or what I do is I make them in a scrapbooking style so when it comes to revising for the final exam you have everything you need in a way you understand that isn't the usual boring textbook.

The best tip I could give would be to start really early and keep it going at a slow pace initially. Then increase your intensity of revision at about end of March/beginning of April. Worked for me and I got 8A*s.
