    Hi everyone,

    I was just wondering how all of you are studying? I must admit I'm finding it difficult to learn anything at the moment :( It's all in one ear and out the other! I'm hoping that you guys might be able to give me a few tips because you all seemed to do really well in your Mocks :P

    Exam Papers... thats what my teachers all say, once you go over a topic answer the past questions from ever year , you can begin to see overlaps , what they generally always ask. It is also good because you are writing and thinking about the answers instead of just looking at pages- hopefully it might help you to remember the answers better- they might not go out the other ear :P

    Exam Papers, exam papers and exam papers, and go through your notes as you answer each question








    Did I mention you should go through exam papers?

    Sounds like you are not an aural learner.
    Find your learning style and then work within that.
    Perhaps you are a visual learner - mind maps etc..

    Do one of these and then follow the tips for your learning style.

    Infanct do a few different learning style tests the one I've linked isnt the best.

    Me, Im a kinaesthetic learner. When I study I use flash cards, I throw a ball around, I work standing up and I walk around a lot. Then when I think I know something I sit down and do an exam paper q and I correct it. If its perfect I move on to the next topic, if not I go over it until it is. Then later on I'll do a similar question orally just to quickly go over it, same again the next day, and a week later.

    Thanks so much for all your answers! :D
    I haven't been doing the exam paper questions so maybe that was my downfall :P
    I'll definitely do that test decisions :) thanks very much for linking it :)
    Spurious, I'd say I probably am a visual learner because I do like mind maps haha thanks :)
