Hey, amandajostolio,
Welcome to ATAR Notes! :))
Good question - I think a lot of people doing BusMan would probably be feeling similarly at the moment; there's a lot of content to remember.
If it's mostly remembering stuff you're struggling with, perhaps it's worth mixing up how you study. What do you usually do to try to learn things? Rote learn? Flashcards?
I personally found that, for Business in particular, verbalising what I was trying to learn was really, really helpful. It's easy to get bogged down in BusMan with definitions and case studies and whatever else to the point that you can sort of engage in "study-lite". What I'm referring to here is when you (not you specifically), like, read a chapter of a textbook, and then immediately can't really remember what you read.
Saying things out loud is simple, but it had a big impact on the way I studied.
You can take it one step further, too. I highly recommend giving friends/family/teachers summaries, and getting them to test you on that content. If nobody's available to help, you could even take a random dot point from the study design, and just... say as much you can about that dot point.
Regardless, we have an article coming up soon by the ever-lovely kbanks on just this topic, so keep your eyes peeled! :D
