Hello people, I have been contemplating about how I should study for these subjects:
English Extension 1
Maths Extension 2
Studies of Religion 1
Modern History
Business Studies
I am currently adapting to this method:
1. One binder folder for each subject which consists of:
- Plastic sleeve for each topic learnt including worksheets and textbook printouts. (I was wondering if I should perhaps use loose leaf sheets so I can do class work on them then slip these sheets inside the plastic sleeve so that everything is nice and compact in one spot). But I'll probably just use an exercise book.
- Once a topic done, I will write a summary of all areas covered and the important sub topics in the topic, including a summary from the syllabus based on the topic. I will then place this outline summary as the cover of the plastic sleeve.
I will do this for each topic.
- At the back, I will have the syllabus and course outline for the subject.
- At the front I will have a list of topics for both Prelim and HSC course.
2. A spiral notebook for each subject to compile study notes, practice essays for english, and brainstorm hard questions and formulae for maths. For notes, I use Cornell Method.
3. A small notebook (A5) where I can write checklists of what to study weeks before exams and to carry around so I can revise topic by topic in my head. As well as plan for assignments.
4. And of course, I will do past papers.
Is there any other way I could imply to improve my study? And what are some textbooks I should use for my subjects?
For planning, I just use the calendar on my laptop that syncs with my phone and a reminders list of things to do on my laptop and phone. I also use a daily agenda list on both laptop and phone to help me see what I have to do each day.
Many thanks and all the best to everyone this year and their studies!
