  • Thirty cards, one study technique on each
  • Three steps to try on every back, the mistake that wastes the technique, and roughly how long it takes
  • A front that names what the technique suits, from lecture content to problem sheets
  • A how-to-use page: print, cut, and keep the pack at your desk
  • Print as many copies as you need for your own use

Look inside

Pull a card, start the block

Front names the technique and what it suits. Back gives three steps, the mistake that wastes it, and roughly how long it takes. Keep the few that work and discard the rest without guilt.

Questions

What do I need to open it?

Any PDF reader, including the ones built into browsers, phones and tablets.

Can I print it?

Yes. Print as many copies as you need for your own use. Please do not share or resell the file.

Do the cards say what a technique will do to my marks?

No. A card is a method, not a prediction. Which ones help depends on what your own error log keeps naming as the cause.

How are they printed?

As a cut sheet, cards at a 5:7 ratio. Fronts print in navy or black; backs print as a solid navy block with light text, and the geometry is identical either way.

Which level should I pick?

Pick the one you are studying. Thirty techniques are the same at every level; what changes is what each card says it suits, and the examples on it.

Where this fits

Everything for this level sits together on the University revision page, alongside the planner it is built to work with.

Planning the weeks is a different job from working through them, and it is free: the three-box flashcards keep every card in your own browser and move it between boxes as you get it right.
