Podcasts

2009-01-07T10:15:00.001Z

Are you an aural learner? Do you like listening instead of reading? You can create your own podcasts or there are some available on the internet for some topics that people have created (make sure they are topics you study if you intend to use these!)
There is a new site offering podcasts to buy for all subjects. They cover all the information needed for every exam board.
Have a look at www.gcsepod.co.uk/ . They seem very reasonably priced.

How will you revise best?

2008-12-02T22:23:00.004Z

How you will revise best depends on what type of learner you are.

There are three main preferred learning styles: Visual, Auditory and Kinaesthetic (learn by doing)

To find out which one you are go to
www.brainboxx.co.uk/a3_aspects/pages/VAK.htm
and take the quick test there (the link is at the bottom of the webpage).

Use this page and the links at the bottom to find out more about how to make the best use of your learning style.
