Cue Cards
- Writing key notes/facts on cards helps you to remember all the main points as a visual aid. You can read these cue cards often to help you remember the key points.
Posters
- Big bright posters with key points and pictures can help remember the key points. They can also be placed around your bedroom and even your house so you'll revisit the information every time you come across them.
Mind Maps
- These are graphical diagrams that expand one key point with ideas, words and concepts associated with it. It can help with the memory of key points especially if you colour code your points and can recall their patterns and connections in the exam.
Mnemonics

Timelines

Furthermore, you can discuss with your course friends about their answers to past papers and how they would go about tackling questions.
