Do you know the type of questions that it will contain? Your operations task was a report, is this finance task also a report, or an essay or multiple choice and short answer, or a combination of these?
Effective study involves thoroughly learning and understanding the content as well as the syllabus, allowing you to identify the specific concept(s) that a particular question targets. To ensure that you understand the content well, you can have a look at the syllabus after you finish studying the content, and try to thoroughly explain every dot point. Specific dot points that you feel you are not able to explain well would indicate areas of improvement, and as such, you would need to revisit them.
Completing practice material (including textbook questions and past exam papers) is also useful to ensure that you are able to apply your knowledge of the content to varying questions, especially exam-style ones. The more you do this, the more exposure you will have to relevant questions, allowing you to:
- properly assess your ability to recall important syllabus dot points depending on the question
- constantly identify areas of improvement and focus on addressing them, whether it be by revisiting the content or attempting similar questions.
I hope this helps!
