Writing My StudyWise Study Cards
Creating your StudyWise Study Cards will force you to condense and really engage with the material you are going to be tested on. It is much easier to congest and recall material you’ve really had to think about than the material you have only read. The bbc.co.uk article Revision techniques – the good, the OK and the useless highlights the effectiveness of creating and repeated testing using study cards in its summary article of the conclusions of a major US Psychological Study by Professor John Dunlovsky. Of the techniques examined, the two highlighted as the most effective are:
- “Practice testing – Self-testing to check knowledge – especially using flashcards”
- “Distributed practice – spreading out study over time”
We recommend you to do both of these.
The process of creating study cards is far more fun, enjoyable and interactive than repeatedly rereading notes and textbooks, which done alone, is an inefficient and ineffective revision strategy that quickly becomes monotonous. Most students are happy to spend time revising in ways that they enjoy. So if you are one of those students who find it hard to put in the hours, this strategy is ideal for you!
Self-Testing With My StudyWise Study Cards
Once you’ve created your study cards – Fantastic! You now have an awesome exam tailored revision resource which you can use to implement scientifically proven to be effective self-testing revision. This will enable you to clarify exactly what you know, and what you don’t. You can then use this knowledge to target your weakest areas and track your progress! If you are feeling brave, try getting someone you would like to impress to test you (maybe Dad or Grandpa); this way you can practice performing under a little pressure. This is excellent practice for the real exam where you will be under time and performance pressure and you won’t have your notes in front of you!
Your exam performance will reflect what you know and understand without prompting or having notes in front of you. It is essential that you practice enough such that by the time of your exam, you will know and understand the contents of your course well enough that you can recall quickly and accurately. Using textbooks alone can give you a false sense of knowing things which are only stored in your short-term memory; things which you really only know because you read them 10 seconds ago! Practice testing is the best way to understand what you don’t understand! Then you can take targetted action.
After repeated practice and self-testing, you will feel a lot more confident with the course material. Given that your exam will, of course, be a test, this strategy delivers excellent test format preparation benefits. Our StudyWise Study Cards are also portable and fastened together on an open and closable ring which keeps them all together and helps to prevent you from losing study cards. This makes StudyWise Study Cards excellent for revision on the go.
If you’re looking for larger size cards to write multiple sentences on these are probably not for you. With bigger cards, it is easy for students to fall into the trap of copying large chunks out of the textbook rather than focusing on the important points and concepts. We wouldn’t advise writing too much on any one flash card as for many students, trying to recall multiple sentences can be a frustrating process. Your goal should be to condense your course material into short and snappy question and answer study cards. Not to rewrite the textbook.
