Quick flashcard tips:

Use different colours of flashcards to divide your topics. WHSmith sells packs of flashcards in different colours, but if you can’t buy a coloured pack, you can also mark the top of the cards with a pen (or even use washi tape) to colour code them.

Get a box. Keep your cards neat and clean by storing them in a flashcard box. These can usually be purchased for a few pounds, and they come in a range of styles from clear to patterned (see paperchase website).

Know the best technique for you. The traditional way to use the cards is to write a question on one side and the answer on the other. However, I know that if the answer is on the card, I’ll cheat, look at the answer, and then tell myself that I knew it. By not including an answer on my cards, I make sure that I’m testing myself.

Get the right size. Cards come in all kinds of sizes. If you want to carry your cards around with you a lot then I suggest getting a smaller size so that they’re easier to carry. You could also consider creating your cards online on sites like quizlet.

If you want to carry them around, buy some rings or elastic bands to keep your cards in order. If you’re using a smaller size, you might be able to buy a business card holder that will do the trick too.

Test yourself. I try to go through at least some of my flashcards every day. It’s also useful to divide your cards into piles when you go through them (e.g. know the answer, kind of know the answer, don’t know the answer) so that you can focus your revision on the cards that need the most work.
