Answer 1

Neumonics. Design your own neumonics to remember key facts.

Have a look at this site to give you some ideas - http://www.whom.co.uk/html/neumonic.htm

By the way the neumonic regarding Sine, Cosine and Tangent, I was always taught as being SOHCAHTOA after the volcano in South East Asia.

Answer 2

-Sit upright at a desk facing a boring position (i.e. no TV or window in your sight!)
-Go somewhere you know you won't be interrupted
-Take a break every 45-60 mins and during this talk to someone about something other than exams & try to eat a piece of fruit to keep you feeling energised
-I have found flash cards very effective and highlighters!
-Write out some practice questions you think are certain to appear on the final exam
-Pretend someone has just asked you one of the questions aloud and answer the question aloud. you may feel silly but it's a great way of seeing how much you actually know.

Answer 3

I always used to record myself singing the info to a well-known song. Then i would play it and play it to myself util I learn it. Sounds sad I know but it worked at the time. I still sing Everthing Changes (Take That) as ENergy Changes!!! Lol

Answer 5

Keep going over the main points, and if possible, find someone to test you on them. Otherwise practise writing them out again and again, until you're sure you know everything really well.

Answer 6

try writing down the important points. Write them out a few times. Painful I know but far more effective than reading. Ormake a mind map if you know how to do one they are very effective (I can't remember how to do it).

Answer 7

Practice old papers
