ACTIVE STUDY EXAMPLES

• Reading a textbook.
• Watching a YouTube video.
• Reading GCSE Bitesize or an app.
• Flicking through a revision guide.
• Telling someone you have revised a topic.

PASSIVE STUDY EXAMPLES

• Highlighting the top 5 sentences on a page (limiting yourself makes you evaluate what is actually important, helping info to “stick” better).

• Writing a quiz for yourself as you watch the video, then answer the questions in a couple of days.

• Trying a past-paper, and marking it with the mark scheme.

• Making a mind-map that links across topics – or even subjects.

• Teaching someone else a topic! Create resources or hold a remote revision class for friends.

In summary, taking information in and making something new from that information is what really helps information to stick.
