Mind maps are a great way to get your ideas and information out on one page. For visual learners, this is very useful as you can visualise the mind-map during your exams.

 

When mind-mapping, you could…

• Put the main idea/topic in the centre

• Start Chronologically (depending on subject)

• Use colour codes

• Focus on KEY words (rather than elaborate sentences)

• Make smaller branches off each initial branch to link to new ideas
