Revise with Highlighters

Highlighters can be your secret weapon in the war on revision. No, seriously, they are pretty damn useful for drawing attention to key words/phrases/information - I would say most people probably do this anyway. I hope so. If you want to see how effective it is, just keep reading and look how below the highlighted words jump out at you first.

But something FAR more effective is using the different categories to highlight where the information fits in.

So a couple of examples:
  • German - Highlighting masculine nouns in blue, feminine in pink, neuter in yellow.
  • History - English Civil War, Charles and Finance in yellow, Charles and Religion in Blue, Charles and Foreign Policy in Green.
