We will share some of the content here also.

Information upload is a crucial first step to revising. You want to revise actively - not just passive re-reading and highlighting of notes. You can find 3 templates to actively revise in this document here:

A template to prioritise information to revise
A template to chunk information in smaller sections
A template to reduce and transform the information into simple pictures in order to remember it better

Last week's Study Era was about uploading information. This week's is about processing information. Here are three templates that you can use to process information actively:

Reducing it into smaller details
Transforming it into images and then back again
Revising important Science practicals

Also - you have free access to EdClass. On EdClass there are 100s of lessons with slide decks, quizzes, fill in the gaps and even videos of teachers explaining concepts. This is a good place to go and search for material if you are stuck on a particular topic. There is a short 'how to' video here.
