I understand how hard it is writing revision notes. Various things will be running through your head; where should I start, am I writing the correct notes, will these notes help me, how will all this information stick? From past experience, I know that revision notes help, a lot!

Plus you get to shape what will be on here in a few months time!<br /> <br /> Also as a side note anyone who wants to get involved and actually make some of the content feel free to contact me: <a href="mailto:revision.notes.blog@gmail.com">revision.notes.blog@gmail.com</a> This will look great on your CV and any UCAS applications and any work that you do I'm happy to provide a reference for.

This will mainly be a set of quizzes and other materials based around physiology and human anatomy.<br /> <br /> Sounds like a load of made up words? Don't worry it's based at people doing degrees and foundation degrees in human biology based subjects such as physiotherapy, medicine, pharmacology etc etc.<br /> <br /> If you know anyone who might benefit from taking a look at these send them this way!

Unfortunately due to the stupid pricing on this store the books will all be £1.99 and even at this price 100 will need to be sold in order for us to cover costs and get any revenue!<br /> <br /> Stay tuned for other news as I'm trying to set up a store through the site where you can purchase the e-books in any format for the same price and simply drag and drop them to your device<br /> <br /> Hope revision goes well and be sure to check out these great e-books to help you out!adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02343747944621450693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252939901035627321.post-6864583344896233072013-02-10T06:42:00.003-08:002013-02-10T06:42:47.882-08:00Hi<br /> <br /> Just to let everyone know some of the revision notes have been put into kindle format and are currently available to purchase on the kindle store!<br /> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/goog_278571693"><br /></a> <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=node%3D341689031&amp;field-keywords=myrevisionnotes">http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=node%3D341689031&amp;field-keywords=myrevisionnotes</a><br /> <br /> This is great for reading on the train/bus/in the car and is a great reference guide for in the classroom too<br /> <br /> These are all priced at just £1.02 (amazon being funny about the pricing) so as you struggle to get a lot of things for under £1.50 these days why not get yourself on amazon and/ get the parents on amazon and get yourself a great little revision resource<br /> <br /> Even if you don't have a kindle you can get the kindle app for iPhone/ iPad / iPod touch / andriod phones and tablets so give it a go!<br /> <br /> Thanks everyone, any purchases are really appreciated! <br /> <br />adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02343747944621450693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252939901035627321.post-45792184848488459322012-12-20T14:28:00.003-08:002012-12-20T14:28:31.806-08:00Merry Christmas Everyone!<br /> <br /> Yup it's near that time of year where you can take a break for a few days from your January revision and chill out for a few days.<br /> <br /> Check out the&nbsp;Facebook&nbsp;page:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/myrevisionnotes?fref=ts" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/myrevisionnotes?fref=ts&nbsp;</a><br /> <br /> This will be updated on a regular basis from now on with site news etc<br /> <br /> Happy Holidays! as they say over the pondadminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02343747944621450693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252939901035627321.post-34131517605357074802012-12-11T08:36:00.001-08:002012-12-11T08:38:39.170-08:00UPDATE TO SITE:<br /> <br /> <br /> <ul> <li>All notes that I have are on the <b><u>google docs</u></b> links for each section in BIOLOGY</li> <ul> <li>Exam questions added to Unit 1</li> <li>Notes added to Unit 2</li> <li>Full booklet added to Unit 4</li> <li>Notes added to Unit 5</li> </ul> </ul> <div> Hope this helps everyone.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Some sections are incomplete :( sorry about this I just never made revision notes for these sections.

This is all free of charge and I would recommend getting one.<br /> <br /> However on google docs it assures me this shouldn't be the case so I have logged the issue with google support and hopefully the problem will be fixed soon.<br /> <br /> Until then if you need notes and don't wish to make a google account email me: revision.notes.blog@gmail.com and I will email out the notes you request the same day (normally within an hour or two from when you email me)<br /> <br /> Sorry about this!adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02343747944621450693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252939901035627321.post-7065316725527315472012-03-17T03:05:00.000-07:002012-03-17T03:05:04.853-07:00Hi everyone<br /> <br /> Major changes this weekend more notes will be added and what's already on here has been updated and is now on google docs so there are no ads when downloading and it's much faster<br /> <br /> Hope everyone did well in their Jan exams and not to pile the pressure on but it's not long until the summer ones eek!!<br /> <br /> Happy revising hope everything on here is usefuladminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02343747944621450693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252939901035627321.post-52462416052771786682012-03-11T03:39:00.000-07:002012-03-11T03:39:11.410-07:00some people have had trouble with the file factory links and there are loads of ads on these pages making it difficult to download the notes.<br /> <br /> Now before the filefactory links will be a google docs link. This will enable you to download the notes without any ads, and should be a bit faster too<br /> <br /> Happy Revising!adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02343747944621450693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252939901035627321.post-20168055696039868482012-03-09T11:17:00.002-08:002012-03-09T11:17:35.613-08:00If anyone uses this service email me your email address and I'll share the dropbox with revision notes with you.
