so back home now back over the weekend formula university for those of you who don't know i'm
at the university of bar i've done my hair loss done my gts and i've got lots of good grades in
it and so i started making videos on gcse and a level content in this room yeah we are back in
the od room so i thought as i'm here i may as well crack out all of the rest of the a-level content
that you guys have been after so today's video i'm going to be basically explaining how icon asylum
physics and exactly how you can get there too in as easy and as efficient form as possible i'm also
going to be dropping one later in this week on a level math so that'll complete the trilogy of a
math physics and chemistry that i did i also did further maths but the same logic applies for the
maths and yeah then on that channel i'll basically have all of the gcse content so how to get lines
and all of those subjects how to get eight stars in all of the a-level subjects and then all of
the university vlogs basically just try to inspire you to do as much as you can to live as best life
as you can and get all of the experiences that you want while still smashing out the work so if that
sounds like content you want to watch i definitely don't subscribe otherwise recently there's been so
much hype about the metaverse and the metaverse is mad but what i'm more hyped about is the fact that
if you drop a like on this video you actually trip all your chances of getting the grades you want
and yeah i wouldn't take that risk without further ado let's go in the video oh and this video is
also sponsored by snap revise but there's more at the end okay so there's essentially
three key aspects of my revision method there's preparation there's a review and then there's past
papers now what i mean by this is the preparation phase is basically converting all of the knowledge
that you have into short easy to use resources that you can help to review the content for me
that's cue cards both physical and digital but for a level i actually did physical cue cards and then
towards the end digital i would recommend going digital but everything i'm about to explain
applies for physical or digital so in this phase
these books are pretty essential now it doesn't actually matter whether you get the revision guide
or whether you get the actual textbooks i got the textbooks for physics and the revision guide
for chemistry but that's only because i liked the physics more so i was happy to read more of it you
get the same thing with the revision guides so if you just want to be as efficient as possible buy
in the cgp physics revision guide i'll link it in the description below it absolutely slaps
and just does wonders but essentially what you're going to do is if you're starting off your course
now whenever you finish a chapter make cue cards on all of the content in the chapter or if for
example you're in year 13 and need to catch up just start working your way through that textbook
making cue cards on each of those chapters that is all you need to do for the preparation phase
and if you actually want to watch a video on exactly how i make my cue cards and how
i use them to be most effective that video is up there but these cue cards from the framework of
your revision it's essentially just an easy way to remind yourself of the information and the
understanding that you had when you first learned the topic because after a lot of time you tend to
forget the content and forget that understanding but because you've already learned it before you
just need a stimulation to remind yourself of that content or of that understanding that is what cue
cards are used for and i explained that more in my cue card video but that is the preparation phase
then the second aspect of that revision is review and now why review i literally just
mean going through all of those cue cards making sure you know all of the information
and any cue cards you don't quite understand put to one side any cards you do understand puts in
another side and then just keep going through the ones you don't understand until it clicks
and just set aside time running up to the exams to actually review those cue cards because there's no
point in making them well there is some point because it's still going to be beneficial but
there's no real value in making them if you're not going to review them the first
aspect is preparation that's actually making those resources the second aspect is review
actually going through those resources and helping to convert all of that information
and understanding into your long-term memory so that when you get into the exam you actually have
some clue as to what you're doing and you can get a decent mark okay and then the final phase
i mean you probably guessed it was coming but the final phase is practice papers practice papers are
a godsend and it's one of the most effective ways to revise the content essentially you just set
aside time to work your way through papers then you'll mark the entire paper and any questions
you've got wrong you'll write a cue card on it adding to that pile of cue cards that you're
using to review essentially the value here is you start to learn the exam technique and if
you get a question wrong do you have fundamental understanding of the content for but just don't
get the answer right because of exam technique you write that on the cue card and when you're
reviewing those few cards you'll get it into your mind not to write it in the way that you did but
to write it so that you actually get marks in the exam so you can now see that the three phases are
kind of linked you start by making cue cards on all of the content you review that content so you
can hit past papers and then you use those past papers to understand the exam technique to make
more cue cards for more review and then just keep cycling through that process and that is exactly
what i did to get an aside in my physics physics is a very straightforward subject once you get
your head around the concepts it's just about learning the information and then getting the
exam technique down once you've got that you're absolutely sorted but if you don't think you have
time to go through all of this that's where sacrifice comes in the story of snapchat is
actually pretty crazy because since using them and plugging them in one of my first ever videos which
was that video they've actually become quite a long-term sponsor of this channel and honestly
their resources have been so so helpful for me so there's three resources that they have they
have the snap revised cheat sheets which basically just condense the entire a level curriculum into
like 20 summary sheets and you can use those to work through instead of having a big hefty
textbook or revision going like this that was an absolute lifesaver and on top of everything i did
i also used those to review like my fundamental understanding or as like a quick checklist of
all of the information so those you can download in the description below then the second product
and this is probably the most helpful for saving time but they've actually condensed the entire
course into just 200 cue cards based on the exam specification so let's bust them open
so this is what you get in the box you get a contents page that tells you what is on every
single one of those 200 cards so if you want to skip forward to a particular topic you can
do just that which honestly is gonna be super helpful especially when you're just looking for
one particular idea and typically you'd have to search through all of the cue cards that you've
made to try and find that one idea that is really helpful essentially on the front you just have a
summary of all of the information and then on the back you actually have exam questions these
questions are never seen anywhere other than sacrifice because snap advise writes them based
on the exam specification for example with the absorption spectra you've got information about
the absorption spectra and then a question on the back so you can cover up the answer work your way
through the questions see if you get it right and if not just repeat that process of creating either
physical or digital cue cards to help with that stage of review essentially what these two cards
are going to do is they're going to bypass that stage of preparation allow you to go straight
into review and actually have exam questions or past papers within those cue cards so all three
phrases are actually wrapped up in these cue cards but obviously you can do additional work on top of
that to make sure you get the grades and keep cycling through those three aspects of revision
and then there's the course okay so the course is basically just the complete package and can be
used to teach everything you need to know or can just be used as revision you work your way through
all of the topics by first taking a quiz on each this quiz determines the subtopics you struggle
on and then highlights those topics in orange for review you then review each with the bite-sized
videos before attempting a new quiz continuing this cycle until you've mastered every sub-topic
then for each there was also a set of exam questions for additional practice making sure
that you absolutely smash the exam okay so if you do want to check any of those resources out
just hit the top link in my description below and you can also use the code slap revised jake for
a free a 14 day subscription to both the basic and the pro subscriptions of that snap revised
course but otherwise that is it for me today so i do hope you have enjoyed if you have i would
absolutely love it if you drop to subscribe i've got bags more content like this coming if i got
my maths one coming this friday and then all of the university vlogs well pretty indefinitely to
be honest but yeah i hope you did enjoy and i'll see you in the next one own world of make believe
