FLASH CARDS
Flash cards are pieces of paper (or card) with questions on the one 
side, and corresponding answers on the other side.
Here is an example:
What 
does OHS 
stand 
for?
Occupational 
Health  
and Safety
Tips for using flash cards:
• Include images/visual cues on your flash cards, as this will help you to 
memorise the contents.
• When studying, shuffle your deck of flash cards regularly (to make 
sure that you aren’t simply memorising the order of the answers).
• Add new flash cards to your deck as you cover new topics or learn 
new concepts.
