Three rules

The method matters more than the stationery.

Attempt before looking. Recognition can feel fluent without proving recall.
Check against a trusted source. Use your notes, teacher feedback or authorised material.
Retry after correction. Finding a gap is only useful when the next attempt changes.

Do not ask, “Which technique looks productive?” Ask, “What will I be able to attempt and check?”

How2Revise does not label fixed learning styles. Pupils can choose text, speech, drawing or practical interaction while the active method stays honest.

Not sure which to choose?
