 Revision Strategies

• Produce mind maps or concept diagrams for each of the topics
• Use the LO lists as a checklist of what you know, or “traffic light” them
• Answer old homework questions
• Highlight the key points in your jotter and Summary Notes
• Make your own revision notes; don’t just copy them from somewhere else
• Make use of the Leckie and Leckie Success Guides: Read a double page and get some to ask you the summary Questions.
• Make your own prompt cards for the key points in each topic
• Work with friends to quiz each other
• Explain some of the concepts covered to a friend/relative who doesn’t study Physics
• Use the links provided on this site to test your basic knowledge
• Work through past paper questions
• If you are stuck ask Mrs. Pritchard or Mr MacLennan for help or email us at galashiels.physics@googlemail.com
