S5 study tips

Following discussions with some S5 pupils, here are some suggestions or tips they thought might be useful:

• use apps on your smart phone to help you revise, eg quizlet, flashcardlet
• create your own study notebooks - make summaries of your class notes for regular revision
• make mindmaps for 'at a glance' revision at the end of each topic
• highlight notes so the relevant points stand out
• use youtube videos to see experiments etc online
• use websites flagged up by staff, eg chemweb, hsn, sparknotes, etc
• use resources on SQA website, eg past papers and study planners

 Please leave a comment if you want to rate one of their suggestions or if you have a tip you'd like to add to the list!
