Anyone have any sick Study Tips?

Hey fam,

Does anyone have any sick study tips? I'm trying to improve my studying game in preparation for future exams and whatnot.

Thanks!

I study with no effort, and although that sounds stupid, I find it most effective.

Especially for science and math subjects, just by watching YouTube videos you effortlessly start to understand how everything works. Since you said you were an auditory learner, this will probably be your bread and butter.

For extremely syllabus based subjects such as business, memorize the syllabus inside and out (maybe more for year 12). I do this by creating acronyms. If you try and memorize the syllabus for around 10 minutes each day you'll see smashing results. (I can currently rewrite the business syllabus word for word lmao).

Try to study maths the day that you have math classes instead of saving it to the weekend so that it’s fresh 👌🏽

I like to write really broad notes, then summarise them into task cards, and then draw mindmaps to concrete it.
But it really depends on if you are a visual, auditory, reading or kinesthetic learner

If your phone is an issue with concentration there's a great app called forest it helps time study and/or intervals of study whilst keeping you off your phone and social media

Depending on the subjects this can change for me but generally, it's quite the same.

So I tend to take notes in class and re-write them in my spare time besides I would usually get past papers from ACEHSC to practice my essay/short answers additionally, I would look up past assessment tasks or written responses from other students to get a better understanding and ideas.

I generally set small goals like finishing a part of an assessment tasks or I would create essay starters on certain subjects and topics. I set myself study times on a calendar, have couple of study areas and also I remove all distractions.

Past papers and remembering the syllabus, especially for subjects like business studies. You probably get told a lot by your teachers to study the syllabus and you brush it off because you're like "lol who cares" but knowing the syllabus inside out is one of the most important things you need. By knowing the syllabus, you can automatically determine what the question's asking for and make your answer concise.

Past papers are great too but realistically if you only have a few days to cram, I'd stick with knowing the syllabus and trying to just get at least 1 past paper in for each subject (more than 1 is even better).

Where can you get past papers from?

Prelim papers a bit harder to find but if you can't the desired paper from acehsc's document database, you can google "preliminary past papers" a few sites should pop up (might take a while to find though). Otherwise, you're better off looking for people who have past papers.
