My top 5 study tips
1Making effective notes which you can use to actively learn and recite rather than just copying the content. There are many different methods to structure you notes, such as the Cornell note taking, to try and see which works best for you.
2Making sure to take breaks. Having a short time for a rest between your studying can really help to reset your focus and efficiency
3Drawing mindmaps. This can be really helpful to test your ability to draw connections and recall information from the content.
4Doing practice questions and papers. A tip is writing all the questions you didn't understand ,or had a unique method of getting the answer, into a booklet so you have an accumulation of harder questions for you to look through before the exams.
5Make your notes and review the content throughout the term so you don't cram everything in the weeks just before.
