      I got through mainly by trying to answer past exam questions without the books in front of me. When you have to actively try and answer questions, remembering things is easier than when you are just staring at written notes.
      Reading aloud is helpful too! Or quizzing a friend who is trying to study the same material can be a fun way of getting through things quickly.

      Work out the best way you learn stuff, either by writing it down or repeating it out loud or dancing around, then just repeat that for things you just have to learn. Once you’ve learned stuff then practice with past questions/tests.

      Past papers! And your own notes!

      Find something that suits you.

      I write down notes and more notes to make me memorise things. I also add wee drawings since I can usually remember things visually.

      I would also say don’t study too much and don’t stress about it! Take plenty of breaks and some fresh air.

      I also find talking to someone – as if you’re teaching it – helps to think about the subject and how much you really know.

      for me it was all about repetition and taking lots of breaks. I still do that now when needed..
