Different kinds of study techniques

I'm currently taking 1/2 Physics and CSL in Year 10. I have my first physics SAC this Tuesday and want to start experimenting with other study techniques for my future SACS since I don't really feel prepared.

So far, I've been reviewing my physics notes and reviewing the answers from chapter reviews and SAC revision sheets. I'll probably be re-doing the worksheet handouts my teacher gave us just incase.

And also, for CSL my sac is next Sunday(XJS). We will be writing a letter but not sure what about, obviously. Any advice for CSL is also appreciated, I'm clueless on how to study for LOTE SACS/Exams.

Don't attempt/go over the questions you've already done. Find new questions either online or from a different textbook that are similar to the questions in the handouts and do them. The more questions you do the easier the topic will get.

For Physics, prepare like you'd do with any other maths/science subject. Personally, I ensure that I've mastered all the concepts covered in the SAC. How? I complete the exercises in the textbook. I do as many questions as I feel I need to become comfortable with the material. Then, I move on and do the chapter review. If I want to go further or have the time, I would grab my checkpoints, and do a few of the questions for the specified topic from there.
Additionally, I would recommend studying with your friends. If you guys discuss the topics, you WILL exponentially increase your understanding of the material. Unless you're talking about redundant things that don't develop your understanding, it will work :)  (Also it's a fun way to study!)
