    Just thinking - is there much point studying knowledge based subjects like history and Biology at this time of year?

    Practicing questions of course help but I'm thinking that everything I learn now I'd forget later.

    Making short cut notes is probably the best way to study at this time of year. You learn and make notes, and use the short cut notes to refresh every now and then.

    Just brain storming :).

    Think of it like this, you may forget the information(i.e not be able to recall it) however when you look over something/ study it for a second time you are not starting from scratch. Best way to study is to keep looking over things until you know the content. If you do it right then it should get easier every time.
    Literally the use it or lose it principle. You are going to look over info multiple times before the leaving cert anyway.
