The document provides study skills advice for Mike, including: 1. Active revision methods such as writing notes, getting tested by others, testing yourself, and doing past exam papers are recommended over passive sitting and reading. 2. Students should obtain the syllabus for each subject to understand what is required and ask teachers about exam format details like number of papers, questions, and time limits. 3. When revising, students should go over past exam papers, write bullet point answers using notes, and practice questions under timed conditions to tailor revision to the exam style.
