A useful diagram revision method should make structures easy to recognise, labels easy to recall and functions easy to explain in examination answers.

1. Set a clear diagram goal

Choose the biological diagram you are revising, note the structures you must identify and decide how you will test recall without looking at the labels.

2. Map key structures
