Study tips-Writing notes and reading them is not the most effective way to study!!
-Active Study is far more beneficial
- test yourself on your notes
- complete practice questions under exam conditions
- read your notes out loud as if you were explaining them to someone else.
- organize notes into mind maps or diagrams, the brain remembers visual organization more than a list of notes.
Active Study
- Pick a key point from the study guide or your study notes and recall all you can for that point.
- Check this against your study notes to see if you are on track. Mark in areas missed or corrections.
- Retry later and see if you improve.
- Repetition is a key for memory!!
Time management
- Use reading time to carefully read all questions
- Consider a plan of attack. Eg: Answer higher mark questions early so you do not run out of time, Plan answers straight after reading time - key points for each / mind maps etc
- Do not spend too much time/write too much for small mark questions
- Work out how long you can spend on each question eg: 60 marks in 60 minutes = 1 minute per mark
