    You need to find how you study. Maybe drawing diagrams works for you, or it could be reading aloud or writing out notes. It's different for everyone. Back up your study with exams questions or sample questions if you don't have any exam questions.

    THE NOSEYNESS OF SOME PEOPLE!.....i second that question!:D:D

    Well, what I do is write a past question (or part of a question, whatever fits :confused:) on a flashcard, then draw a mindmap or something to remind me off each of the points of the q on the back, then proceed to memorise it. It's hander than notes cos I can carry around a few of them at a time. I also find it easier to remember something I phrased myself.

    [Okay, I'll admit I don't do this often but it's worked very well for me before :pac:]

    Alternatively just teach someone how to do the question who knows nothing about the subject. Helps it stick in your head, particularly if you find it hard to remember which definitions mean this or that. Keeps it clear in your head, though my mum hates learning it most of the time!

    What type of modules and stuff do you do? Like is it mainly fact base learning or is it more case studies and stuff?

    What it is will dictate the best way to study it.
