I just remebered saying to someone yesterday that the OU is now doing free resources for people returning to study etc… So I thought I would do a little post on resources for Study!
I have always found Mind Maps a usefull tool for revision or keeping planning under some kind of structure..- something I love about the automonous approache to education 
I dont use a free version I have Inspiration, which is a fantastic peice of software, but Tony Buzan books on mind mapping are a great place to start! His Brain child book also makes an curious read
The other thing I do loads when faced with verbal exercises - eg oral exams, is to use a tape recorder and play it back.. read a block of a book out, and listen to it.. That way you can tell if you can hear your own mistakes. I used to find role play really boring, so I would try to be the newsreporter instead!
