The key points picked out from the Level 3 Diploma and Certificate units, are produced as an aide-memoir and to ease the revision process.
These comprehensive notes are presented in mind maps (where diagrams are used to visually organize information which is often hierarchical and shows relationships among pieces of the whole) and stab point format (where links are made to emphasise points) and diagrams and pictures.
Grouping information is the best way to prepare for alternative answer – multiple-choice – questions. Many students find these invaluable especially for their PM papers.
These notes can be used as a quick glance reminder of all the major facts that have to be remembered. The brain remembers the notes more easily than copious words in paragraphs which is the way the learning material is presented.
Emphasis is placed on the candidates’ specialist subjects. Many candidates arrive on the Workshops with reams of notes which have taken hours to produce, and these notes allow more time to focus on learning not copying out the syllabus.
Revision Notes focuses their attention on what needs to be studied. This is a means of seeing the wood despite the trees by pulling out the salient points that need to be remembered to pass the exam. When the right points are highlighted candidates can concentrate on their revision and see what they need to understand for passing the exam. There is lots of space to add additional notes. Research has shown that notes are better in paper format as candidates understand and retain more from written notes rather than just reading off a screen.
