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. - organise notes into mind maps or diagrams, the brain remembers visual organisation more than a list of notes.

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 / mindmaps 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
