To learn from this tutorial effectively, download the ‘blank’ version of this worksheet under the ‘materials’ tab (above the video). Then, fill it out while watching the video. I will tell you when to pause the video and fill out a section of the worksheet.

The tutorial is designed to be as interactive as possible so that you remain engaged while revising and don’t switch off! It is important to engage in the tasks as it will make your revision active, which is vital for memorisation. Without using active recall techniques in your revision, you will struggle to retain the information you revise and you will struggle to recall it in the exam.
