    Definitely. Your own notes are the best. Try not to write it straight from the book if you can't remember it that way. Write it out in a way that is simpler if that's possible but still retains the core point of the topic.

    For notes I found yellow paper and keeping them in a ring binder was useful. It differentiated them from the textbooks and meant they were easy to refer to.

    Also, a good time table (it'll take a bit of trial and error to get it right) and a to-do list of aims at the start of every week will do wonders!

    You don't need to put in a *huge* amount of hours - just get a decent routine set up and get through the material at a steady pace. This will avoid *too* much stress and pay off in June.

    Well in terms of homework, do the subject you like first before you move onto the boring stuff. I know most people say do the stuff you hate first, but I think doing it the other way around gets you motivated. And always do it as early as possible because the pressure of having lots of essays due at the same time is horrible.
    For organising notes, get those folders that have different sections in them. Bought one of these folders for every subject. I tried to split each subject into different topics/areas, for example irish. I had one folder and I split it into poetry, stories, history, grammar, listening and then miscellaneous.
