Dealing with tree species: five techniques

1. Replicability: 5 or 6 points can be reused entirely, or with minimal changes, for almost every species. Memorise them and use them widely.
2. Inheritability: the species in the IFoS syllabus fall into 4 or 5 categories with similar characteristics. Get five species free with one.
3. Mnemonics: find facts hard to memorise? Everyone does. Use mnemonics and memory tricks.
4. Maps and diagrams: sometimes you need maps to fill pages. Prepare them well.
5. Linkage with other portions: it helps you generate additional points and extra marks.
