Discover how to make revision notes

Effective note taking is a powerful tool for reinforcing memory and making information easier to recall during exams. Writing down what you read and want to learn helps solidify your understanding and retention. With Post-it® Notes, you can elevate your revision notes by identifying key points, synthesising information, and linking concepts seamlessly.

Summarise and structure: Utilise Post-it® Lined Notes to summarise chapters and books, capturing essential ideas in a structured format.

Annotate with ease: For adding comments or annotations directly in your books or notebooks, use Post-it® Transparent Notes. They are perfect for providing clarity without obscuring the original text.

These versatile tools ensure that your study materials are organised, comprehensive, and tailored to your learning style.
Save pages or mark key information

Want to make key information instantly accessible and boost your study efficiency?

Ensure quick reference: Use Post-it® Flags and Page Markers to mark essential pages in books and notebooks, allowing for quick reference without the hassle of flipping through pages and losing valuable time. Whether you're preparing materials for essays or studying for exams, Post-it® Flags and Page Markers help you efficiently locate important information.

Create book callouts and question prompts: Use different coloured Original Post-it® Notes to highlight key points and organise your study materials. Place them in your books to jot down reminders or additional insights. Write potential exam questions on Post-it® Notes and position them in relevant sections to prepare for exams more efficiently and focus on priority topics.
Create mind maps for revision and memory aids for studying

Enhance your study sessions by discovering the best way to remember what you've learned.

Understand your study style: Are you a visual learner? If so, visual memory aids for studying like mind maps and diagrams can significantly improve your memory retention. Use Post-it® Meeting Charts or Larger Format Notes to create expansive mind maps for revision that visualise key concepts and ideas, making them easier to recall.

Implement colour coding to organise information: Assign specific colours of Post-it® Super Sticky Notes to different topics or subjects, creating a vibrant and intuitive system that aids memory. Place these visual reminders in unusual spots, like your bathroom mirror, to reinforce learning in unexpected ways.

Incorporate breaks for effective studying: Implement time management techniques like the Pomodoro method of 25-minute intervals to ensure your study sessions are efficient and balanced.

With Post-it® Super Sticky Notes, you can stick and re-stick your memory aids for studying wherever you need them, adapting your study environment to suit your needs.
Quiz yourself as part of your exam preparation

Think you've mastered the material?

Regularly test your knowledge: Testing yourself is a powerful way to reinforce your knowledge and ensure long-term retention. Challenge yourself to recall information without checking your notes, strengthening your memory and boosting your confidence.

Create effective flashcards: Use Post-it® Super Sticky Notes and jot down or sketch the quiz topic on one note and write the answer on another. For example, when practicing foreign language vocabulary, write the word on one note and its translation on another. Arrange these flashcards on a wall and lift them to check your answers.

Try everyday vocabulary practice: While practising a foreign language, labelling items around you can also be helpful. Write their names on Post-it® Super Sticky Notes in the language you're learning to create a daily quiz environment. This will help you acquire vocabulary more quickly through constant exposure.

By regularly quizzing yourself, you not only reinforce your knowledge, but also identify areas that need more focus.
