Need ideas for improving study to increase marks

[purplegummy_bear]

Hi i'm am in year 12 and have just recently got my half yearly marks back and have realised i need to improve in my subjects i am currently
doing:

- chem: i make notes for each topic and flash cards
- physics: notes and practice past paper questions
- maths past paper questions
- business: notes

Was wondering what people did to learn content and remembered it especially for science subjects as i'm having trouble remembering equation and context

Thanks

Hey!

I only did two of the subjects you've listed there, so my advice will be tailored to those two.

1. Maths - I think you're good to go with the past papers. :-) They're the quickest and most effective way to study!
2. Business - I think you need more than just notes! As much as Business is a content-based subject, you need to be able to apply that knowledge in an exam situation. Past papers are amazing for Business, and the more you do, the better. As for memorising content, if you can make up or find acronyms for the syllabus, it's sooooo much easier to memorise the syllabus. That way, once you know everything in the syllabus you just have to do past papers.

Hope this helps!
