What do you think is the best way to study?

What are the best ways to study? I've never been good at getting study done. Do you guys have any tips on how and when studying should be undertaken and share your techniques for studying! (specifically language analysis)

it really helped me when i read other students' essays (particularly past students who had got 45+) just to see their structure, vocabulary and overall content. after that you start practicing and even copy the structure other (good) students use. once you've mastered that, you just pump out essays

I'm finding that having little notepads for each of your subjects helps. The main exercise books consisting of approximately 96 pages, I leave for questions, actual essays, work, ie. These little notepads having about 300 pages in them, so I summarize literally all the main areas of each unit of the text book.

So for example, I'm studying Biology 3&4, so the Heinemann book will go in 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 intervals ie, so I summarize my notepad with the book so it's all compiled into little notes & I can remember instantly without having to search the main text book ie. With that, they're little & can fit into pockets & aren't that heavy. Also, do glossaries of any word you don't know. Keeping them in alphabetically helps with finding them later on too.
