Following on from the (exclusively personal) success of my resolution cheatsheet, (although I must admit the mistake of not printing enough, I’ll sort that out over the weekend), I’m starting to get a bit of a thing for these simple, portable designs which are there solely to serve as a reminder of something.
With my AS Biology Practical exam coming up, I’ve been going over some old write-ups from class, what I did well with, and what I failed miserably at. There aren’t any patterns, so I need something short and snappy to remind me.
I’ve looked at lots of mnemonics, but for the shear quantity of information, there’s no way I can momorise it all like little facts. I needed a new idea.
While I was preparing for my Ph1 Physics exam, I created an 8-page booklet out of a single A4 sheet, and wrote out the derivation of a SUVAT equation on each, then, whenever I had a spare few minutes, I could get it out and start flicking through it. I did this a bit late, and couldn’t learn anything, and relied solely on common sense in the exam, but the idea seemed to work pretty well.
So, while I’m trying to learn my By3 points; what gets marks and how to generally succeed, I’ve put together a new one, which lists through the key areas of the By3 mark scheme, and what needs doing for each. While it’s not allowed into the exam, it’s something that needs learning, but in theory, it should be relatively easy to learn in this format.
I’m releasing a PDF version, which is all ready to print onto A4 paper, then fold neatly into a booklet shape, the booklet is small enough to slip into a pocket. It isn’t cheating, and doesn’t break any rules (although it shouldn’t go into the actual exam). This is only the same information as is available from WJEC directly.

I’m rather interested to get any feedback on this!
