How To Use Memory Cards

Education : Brain Boosters

Memory cards are an excellent way to prompt and jog your memory.

All that you do is use the key words or phrases for a topic and use these to help you remember knowledge and to help you recall it at a later date.

So rather than copy out a whole page from the textbook on weather to a sheet of A4, which is very hard to remember, you actively try to take out the key words from it and write on a card.

The card might be labelled 'weather' and you write down keywords or facts such as 'Precipitation: rain, snow, sleet, hail', neatly summarising some forms of precipitation in just a few words.

If you are studying the water cycles, you could just write the key words like evaporation, precipitation and so on.

Basically you reduce everything down to the few key words you need and associate with the topic. This is a great way to revise as often in exam questions markers are given specific words to look out for and tick.
