Now, this may seem to be an obvious on where you write a question on one side and the answer on the other and see if you get it right but I find it to be the most useful for me as it fits into all of my subjects. Lessons like Maths, I tend to struggle in as I didn't really think that I could do much for revision other than practice papers but then noticed I didn't remember many formulas.

In both Science and maths, I usually put the name of what I am trying to calculate and put the formula on the other side (eg. Trigonometry-------soh cah toa) which is good but u can also put multiple choice questions on it, with a question with multiple answers and the other side has the correct answer.

In subjects such as English for me, we have to learn 3 books and 15 poems from a cluster which means that if I have 2 key quotes from each poem and 2 quotes per context, theme and character in each book, I will have all of the quotes I need for my examination. This means that if you put on one side "Name 2 quotes from Kamikaze." The other side will have the quotes that you have learnt for your revision. You can also do the same for context and semantic fields for each poem.

TOP TIPS:
1) Write brief, short and simple questions and answers. If you go into too much detail, you are less likely to remember what you have learnt so just put the key bits of information on there, don't stress yourself over needing loads of information.

2) If possible, try to have different coloured cue cards and have a certain colour representing a certain topic/subject so they don't all combine and confuse you easily. This will give you a sense of structure and control over your revision, even if it is last minute...
