Study+tips

Just a short list for starters to get you on track with your studying.
 * 1) Use a highlighter to highlight important notes. Try not to use the flouro yellow, it gets a bit hard on the eyes after a while and pages start swimming at night.
 * 2) Rewrite notes into another form...I find charts helpful.
 * 3) Colour coding is not just for geeks...okay, yes it is but why do you think they are geeks??? Use post its, highlighters, markers and pens to keep like areas together. For example all your character notes could be in bright pink...pink post its, highlighters, pens...the fun could never end!
 * 4) Put notes up where you can see them...the back of the toilet door could be a good start. What? You are sitting there for 10 minutes, what else are you going to do?
 * 5) Make flash cards for terms and formulas that you have to remember and get Mum, Dad, Grandma, Great Aunt Flo, whoever to test you.
 * 6) You should be looking at approximately three hours (yes, I said hours, not minutes) a night.
 * 7) If you are going to listen to music while you are studying, Nelly and Tupac are not good options...well, EVER actually. Have something quiet and soothing in the background. Blasting directly into your ears is not a brilliant option.
 * 8) Old exam papers for practise are stunning. They are even more stunning if you take them into your teacher for marking and feedback. Try to get them done under the time constraints that will apply to the actual exam.
 * 9) Learn how to deconstruct questions. Sometimes things look impossible to start, until you break them down and see exactly what you are being asked to do.
 * 10) Keep summarising your notes down so that just before you enter an exam you have one page of notes for each topic.
