Heyy! I really hope this video helps you out in some way 😉 I also just thought I'd point out that there isn't really ever a "right" way to revise, and although these tips have been really useful for me and when helping others, they may not work for you! I think it's important to try out new things and ultimately use whatever works best for you. You can even make flashcards online or on an app if you prefer! Good luck with it all, and enjoy ✨ x
UnJaded Jade Thank you for making this video!! My year 10 mocks are coming up and I’m really scared. This will help me for history and science so much thanks!
Ruchi Oh thanks! Oh I thought your mocks would be after the year 11 GCSE exams... Anyways my advice for you is to not revise heavily over the summer (maybe just 3-4 hours a week) but maybe go over the science content and revise one subject that you are the weakest at out of all your subjects as that will help you in year 11. Don't revise too much because you won't have any steam left to revise near to your real GCSEs, I promise! (I may be fed up with revision haha)
- flashcards should never be rewritten class notes - the most effective flashcards are ones that make you engage with them and think - summarise information on them - replace words with symbols/pictures/abbreviations. - write questions on the flashcard and do the answers on the back - miss out words in quotes and on the back, fill them in - written prompts, themes/characters or diagram prompts - make it visual: use colour, highlighters. - remove unnecessary words, only include keywords.
Jade knows how to get her knowledge across , that’s why I love her vid. It’s all very well saying ‘I revise 9 hours a day’ to motivate someone but jade actually articulated how she revises!!!
The way I do flashcards that got me through A-Levels and the uni so far is by using a traffic light method. I read the card and try and see how well I know the content (or how comfortable I am with it and that topic). If I know it off by heart and I can get full marks in a relative question then I highlight the front with a green line, then yellow is moderate knowledge and red is very little knowledge. I will do this with all of my flashcards and after two sessions of revising them I move all of the green cards to a separate pile (or I put them at the back) and I concentrate more on the red and yellow ones. If you do this for a few days/weeks I promise you will have committed more to memory than just passively reading the cards. I hope this helps someone!
i use to do this with faces in primary school when i had spelling tests and i would get full marks every single week so this 100% worked for me great advice
I love the fact that she's always smiling and laughing in her videos! Watching her laugh or hearing her voice rise when she's about to laugh makes me laugh for some reason.
This is the best video you’ve EVER made! I’m an aural learner and I find it difficult to revise effectively without dragging someone round with me to test me 😂 I get bored of writing flashcards out but the symbol thing is such a good idea - dankeschönnn x
Hannah Griffiths oh have you tried quizlet,if you learn well by testing then I think you will love it. Still have to make the flashcard though :p but better :D
xTerpsichore Yeah I use Quizlet, but I find I just learn the first couple of words and learn how to match them up, rather than learning the actual content
xTerpsichore Yes, but in sociology for example, I need to learn the study and the person that carried it out. I only end up remembering one of them because whichever I’m writing out is what I remember
Hey Jade ❤️ it's a very random comment but i really wanted to tell you that i found your channel some days ago and now I'm obsessed (in a good way) i just love love love your channel, your video content and the way you motivate us all. You're so beautiful Jade and you have a very pretty smile! Never let that go away. I'm currently having my cies and you've inspired me so much to work hard. If hopefully i get good results, i won't mind to give you half of the credit :p Thankyouu beautiful lady 💕💕
I was literally just making some flashcards for chemistry and i was so happy when i got a notification for your video😍 this really helped me out. Thank you Jadeeee xxxxx
I mainly use flashcards for learning definitions (for economics) and learning German vocab. I then use a system where you take all of the flashcards, place them in three piles: first pile is the ones you haven't learnt yet, the second is for those that you've looked over but aren't 100% sure that you know and the third is for the flashcards that you know off by heart. The aim of this is to get all of them into the third pile, then the process starts again, until all of the information is stored properly. I hope this helps some people.
Oh my gosh Jade! Your videos are always SO perfectly timed ❤️ I’m about to do some flash cards for English language AS aghhhh thank you so much I love you and your soul and your kindheartedness and just YOU!
UnJaded Jade you’re honestly such an inspiring woman. Thank you for your help. Also the video on the law of attraction has changed my life so much. I can’t thank you enough, you’re incredible ☺️ I so wish I could meet you in person, I feel like we would get on well x
I never used to really use flashcards in my revision and seeing everyone using them I thought that it'd be useful but it just wasn't for me. But seeing this video I thought I'd add in a new revision technique and flashcards could really be useful to me now!!
1. Flashcards should not be rewritten class notes 2. Making flashcards is not revision . Make them first to revise in the future. 3. Make as early as u can, straight away make a flashcard after coming home 4. SUMMARISE ******* 5. Start of flashcard can be summary of whole chapter - keypoints 6. Flashcard peak - replace commonly use words with symbols, pictures 7. Little text as possible 8. Empty space 9. engage with the content more 10 abbreviate common/Long words - difficult : diff. 11. Question to test yourself 12. Use questions you gotten wrong 13. Miss out words in quotes 14. Written prompts 15. make it VISUAL 16. Diagrams and visual prompts to answer Qs 17. Remove unnecessary words, cut down as much words as possible
I’m in year 9 and already stressing about GCSE’s. I have 3 next year and then the other 8 in year 11. Your videos help me so much! I really want to get the best grades I can and I think your channel will help me achieve that. Your tips are always so useful and you’re so inspiring. Lots of love x
Hi Jade, I'm in year 9 at school and I got back an English essay today. I used your structure and I got a 7 which is a huge improvement from last time!! Thank you so much!!
This was so helpful thank you❤ what I like about your videos that you always explain something in your own style with your own experience, you do not just say do this or don't do that and leave us to be.
Best thing to test if your cue cards are effective. When you're going back over IS YOUR BRAIN DOING MOST OF THE WORK or are you just reading. You're so right. Prompts are the way to get it in your head
I wish I could use colours and stuff but my school doesnt allow any type of stationery except for blue and black pens, pencils, and anything with color. This really helped btw, now I'm topping in almost all my classes so thank you!
oh my goodness. this video is a life changer, Thanks so much, i got so used to using big words and writing massive paragraphs and this video helped me to understand making it bold and clear and just short words.
Thank you so much for this video!! I've never understood how to revise from flashcards, this video explained a lot! Thank you, and it was very well needed!
I don’t know how I’ve only JUST found out about your channel. You are literally so inspiring and gorgeous and your tips actually sound legitimate instead of just sounding overly generalised. I actually wanted to give Minerva a go as well (I’m not too positive about what the results will be but I certainly will try hard!) and you are such a big help. Love you so much Jade and really appreciate your channel!
Up until now I’ve just passively written all my flashcards. There wouldn’t be any point of me remaking them but next year I’m all sorted thank you jadexxxx
I'm gonna start studying back as a uni student few weeks ahead! I'm so excited since lots of studyoutubers keep updating about revision! Thanks Jade!!!
Hi Jade - I just wanted to say thank you for this video, you have such good flash card advice! I'm currently sitting my veterinary finals 😱😥 but this has helped me focus my revision tonight for my equine paper tomorrow 🐎 if only I'd known about the power of drawing little cartoons sooner!
Awhh Alice! Thank you so much ☺️ wow, so much respect for you! Wishing you all the luck for your equine paper (so cool!) and I hope the cartoons can help in future haha! lots of love x
Heres a suggestion for people who have bad memory like me try to make the odd rough note in say your school diary when you can at break or lunch then you can re write it out neater when you get home and make it pretty or what not
tysm unjaded jade for making such helpful videos. You are the queen of studies and such a lovely personality. Watching your videos make me feel like im listening to a friend helping me out to study. I can also relate to what all you say in your videos which just helps me a lot. sorry i can't write as much as iwant to atm because im going to have my first maths ig tomorrow i need to prepare for it. It would be a greater help for me if you could give some tips for my igs that I am going to do this year. Once again tysm for all the hard work you have done for us so far.
Seriously never been so early!! I'd been waiting for you to make this video since forver!!! Finally it's here!! Love you Jade! You're a true motivation whenever I don't feel like learning. Keep it up! ❤❤
little tip for those who have a printer: If you already have your flash cards on quizlet, you can put flash cards in the printer and print straight on to them. In gcse I wrote up flash cards on both quizlet and into the actual cards but it saves sooooo much time just to print them off. Also if you have messy handwriting like me, it means they are easier to read :)
Jade. Good luck with your exams. Beastly things but they open doors to your future an set you off on the next exciting journey. Take time to decide on what you want to do and don't beat yourself up if you don't have fixed plans. Follow both your heart and your head and accept that sometimes it takes a while to really decide what you want to do next. Have fun making your choices.
Hi Jade! Loved the video guide. I'm a NEET (Medical entrance exam) aspirant from India. I've been wanting to start making flash card since mid year of 11th grade but i never got time due to constant mock tests. But now that i have year end vacation b4 my 12th grade starts I'm gonna try making them so that i Don't forget my 11th syllabus throughout 12th grade with ur help. Thankyou so much 💗
I love your videos so much they are so helpful and so beautifully put together you are so unbelievably smart and talented and you are going to go so far in life keep doing what you’re doing because you are amazing ❤️
I know you say to not just rewrite your school notes, but for me that works really well! I used it for GCSE sciences and geography and I find that it worked so well for me. I do think everyone’s different but also I think the fact I call them “notecards” not flash cards shows that I use them in a different way to you! and actually it’s been proven that just changing the format of your notes (ie literally to a mind map or a notecard) is a really effective method of revision, as long as you don’t JUST do that as revision! I do 3 essay subjects and so the main bulk of my revision is making essay plans which is where I summarise my notes and put it into a different context which is the moment that I test myself. I mainly use the notecards as a more transportable means of notes, so I can take them on a train etc. My 4th subject is maths which I don’t write notes for and only do questions... obviously as I said this isn’t a criticism of you as everyone learns differently and so different methods will inevitably not work for everyone, so much love and support jade! 💗💗
This video was so helpful as I have just bought a pack of 500 flashcards for GCSE Science and I have to admit that I was going to copy out my class notes. After watching this video I understand that it is all about summarising. Thank you! Xx
Thank youu! What I like to do is print out the spec and type it all out and cover the “students should know...” stuff in detail, and I cover every inch of it because they can’t ask anything not in it. Then I print it out and use you blurting method for each topic and subtopic to make sure that I remember it. Xxxx
This is SUCH a brilliant video!! I am definitely guilty of copying out my notes onto a card then hoping for the best! Quite glad I now know how to do these in an effective way to learn all those geography processes :) Thanks Jade!! x
A fun technique I discovered is using the origami chatterboxes I made in primary school. I put questions as well as answers on them. Then I can test my friends on them and I eventually learn the answers! Thanks Jade! x
During GCSE's I had my own bizarre way of remembering flashcards '&' even essays. > Even this I could draw out into a few symbols lol. When other students asked me if I revised, I would give the ones persistent to know my revision book and it was basically a full on code. I had crafted essays that were :) sublime :) and in my opinion the best I could ever do. I would give these to anyone - BUT you would have to crack the code :) I stumbled across exactly what Jade is talking to all of you about in times of stress lol (perhaps you instinctively try to perform the best methods during crisis' like exams). This works - even if you're sceptical.Try it; I'd reccomend this to anyone who wants to do well.
Wow, uploads are coming fast! Thank's for this- I use quizlet a lot for flashcard style revision, but normal paper flashcards are so much easier to work with!
You are such a blessing,I'm a 38 year old lady who is rewriting my matric and it hasn't been easy cause i last Sat in an ex 20yrs ago ,so all the tips are very helpful.
Just lived through the exam season which was stretched over two long months. I must admit that your revision techniques helped me so much, especially the one that you call "blurting". But ahhh watching this video while knowing that I am done with school now and don't have to make flashcards for the time being makes me soooooo happyyy. ALSO ALSO ALSO, that is a very pretty leaf wow!
I really needed this video. I have an exam coming up in 2 days. I usually get around 40-50%. I usually just write a LOT of notes. I will try this method and see how well i do. (Ill update)
Hi jade I am doing medicine in Bulgaria right now and your videos r so motivating and all the tips u give r so useful To me and my sister who’s doing her a levels right now !
I love making and using flashcards, I have a weird memory so when I'm writing the information down I just remember it from doing that, it's literally saved my grades.
Now, i know what i waa doing wrong.. i hope i will make flash cards properly which would be helpful for me to revise in a faster manner and write my exams in an appropriate manner
here i am watching this type of video while i'm on holidays.. no but honestly i had to leave a comment on this one as this is definitely one of the best revision related videos i've come across to. i love the way you explained everything in a simple but detailed way. i found this very helpful, thank you! i'm very new to your channel but every video i've seen so far has been so well done. i'm not exaggerating, you truly are amazing.
I love the idea of making flashcards, but I kind of need a full written database of notes because we don't always have access to the textbooks. I think rewriting it in a notebook (both in my own words and paraphrased from the text) helps me quite a lot. :P I might try making flashcards for French vocab, though- I think it's one of the only subjects I study that is condusive to flashcards. Heck- IB stuff is really hard because it's designed to overlap with other subjects (eg: history and economics, English and history, French and English, etc), and they all link back to TOK (which is a whole other kettle of fish... 😂) I love making pretty notes, but I love writing things out too- that's how I learn best. I might format it so it doesn't look like a block of text though. I'll put this into practice over the summer! 😁
I definitely agree that making symbols as prompts helps so much. My history teacher got each group to teach a topic to the rest of the class (ours was uses of the buffalo to the Plains Indians) and we could only use pictures and a maximum of 10 words to jog our memory. We drew symbols for every single use and now our entire group can remember pretty much all of them.
Honestly the end of this video made me cry! Jade you are SO beautiful and kind and this is JUST the video I needed (after a very long day of Chem A-Level!). I love you
I always make my flashcards on my laptop because it's so much faster and neater because I'm a really slow writer and I find handwriting hard to read quickly, especially since my handwriting is so messy. There are also programs and websites that will put the flashcards in an order depending on how well you know the information on each one, which is extremely useful for efficient revision. I also hate writing and I spend most of my time on my laptop so it just makes sense that I do it on my laptop. I can't understand how other people can write flashcards for revision because, if I did, it would be so much slower!
I was revising for exams with your two hour study with me in the background when you uploaded this. SO HELPFUL AND MOTIVATING TO KEEP GOING!! Great timing with this video cause I just bought a new pack of flash cards. :) XX
that‘s why I love you so muchhhh. you are literally telling exactly in which kind of way to do and not just saying yeah revise flashcards noo you‘re explaining how. thank you so much for all your work and help etc!! can you do something on oral preparations for lessons - so to get a better grade right in the lesson? sorry I‘m a native German speaker so not the best in English ‹3
Jade! this is an awesome video! By the way, I'm a mathematician, and I didn't know that the triangle upside down means "because". You learn something new everyday!
Also, a helpful tool other than writing down flashcards (if you're as lazy as me😂) is tiny cards. It's an app made by duolingo. Basically, it's an app for you to create your own question flashcards, or use what others have made. They have flashcards on everything! It was a life saver to me as I wanted to revise chemistry for my Igcse but was too lazy for all those revision methods. All I needed to do was type 'chemistry igcse' and there were many helpful question flashcards. And it's free! Totally recommended it.
Thank you so much for this 😭I’m currently also taking AQA A level biology this year, absolutely dreading it, was in the middle of a small panic when this notification popped up but fingers crossed for the real thing. This was so helpful ! You’re an inspiration , best of luck for the real thing you incredible girl ❤️
OMG!!!!!!!! This was the best video of flash cards that I watched! Really! I am migrating from mindmaps to flash cards, and I use to do my maps with many simbols as you do! Really, its so dificult to find tips as yours, that im gratefull to had studied english for many years to heard you now!!!!! hahahahahaha You're cute tooooooo, lets be friendsssss HAHAHA thanks Jade!! It was really helpfull
