The Best Way to Make Effective Flashcards ~ Advice, Tips, Dos & Don'ts for Productive Revision ✨
Hey guys - here it is (finally!). I feel like flashcards are one of those revision techniques that can so easily be too passive and therefore not reeaally useful. I hope this jam-packed revision videos gives you some tips and advice for making more effective flashcards! ✨
Please give this a cheeky lil "like" if you liked it, and feel free to subscribe for more revision videos 😉 COMMENT ANY REQUESTS! x
Oh, and there isn't really a "right" way to make flashcards haha!! ;) x

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

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)

Thanks, this is so so so so helpful. Have a good week!
- 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.

Thank you..!!
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’m just a lil gal... trying my best” Same 😂
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!!!
Extremely helpful because I was planning to start making flash cards because I’ve never really made flash cards

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
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

Your energy is so contagious. You’ve helped me a lot, I’ve recently chosen Bio and Chem as higher levels in my IB. Thank you so much❤️
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!
Anyone agree that watching her videos makes you motivated and excited to revise?
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!!!
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.
This has got to be one of your best videos yet. Love you Jade! You make me so motivated and have the best advice
Love you jade! You're such a positive person. I have my exams coming up next week and I feel calm when I watch your videos during breaks. ❤
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
IVE LITERALLY STARTED USING FLASHCARDS YESTERDAY AND THIS IS SOOO SO HELPFUL! this channel is just a 💎
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!
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’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
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!
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 💕💕

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.
Flash cards are my best friend! They’re fun and engaging for me and they encourage me to keep reviewing the material.
Only 4 minutes in and I've already learnt how to make effective flashcards 💖 Love you- so proud xxx
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

Love your idea of the question flashcards with diagrams as prompts! I'm a fan of jam packed flashcards as I do them for physics so there's lots of graphs and equations etc 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!!
