Thread: Revision Tips

Pnemonics Hi, one of my friends received cards or information from other members on learning muscles by Pnemonics - does anyone have this information, & if so, could you please forward it to me? I'm having difficulty trying to keep this information in my brain & need any help I can get!! Mainly I'm looking for - movements on muscles, muscles in particular parts of the body, ie: back, superficial, then back, deep, or...

Joyce J Suggests: What seems to work for me is to try to break it down into bite size pieces and keep reading a bit, write down what you can remember and repeat. Do it as many times as you can and it's surprising what you can remember. I also attempt the tests on the ITEC website with varying results, sometimes it's very good, sometimes not so good . It is surprising if you keep having a go at those what sticks though. HP is an...

Hi I am studying aromatherapy at the moment. Itec have just issued new guidelines.

My college has formally written to itec and the aromatherapy council pointing out that there some of the oils are incorrect Ie: Roman Chamomile is now 2 methylbutyl and 2 methyl propionate.

Hello I am new to HP and am studying holistic massage, am now at the case study stage and wondered if you could point me in the direction of some examples they would be a great help, feel very nervous about it all ----- please help !!

I went into the town on Saturday morning and it took me a while to find some but I found it and then sat in the garden with my revision and had the occasional waft of it. Vicki

Hi there Many thanks for your tip. Yes it does work. I has megga problems trying to remember the skelton bones - and hey presto can now recite off by heart. Yvonne (newbie)

Hi Brilliant tips, thanks. I used rhymes, paper muscles stuck on a cardboard skeleton, loads of key things (like mitosis on the cooker hood) where i would be constantly exposed to them. I also quizzed myself silently during journeys, & of course the questions on here were invaluable. One 'tip' I haven't seen mentioned (will definitely try the question/answer cards next time but came upon it too late for A&P!!),...

Mind mapping - use bubbles or arrows Recording key points onto MP3 player or dictaphone and playing it back. Flash cards. Use of colours Pnemonics Be creative - pictures. Most important tool to revision is not to panic lol
