rolphy, when you make your summary make sure you follow the syllabus as a framework (get it from
here)
Use your text book(s) and class notes to make sure you cover everthing in detail.
you can type them out at this stage, then read, read, read.
after you have a good understaning of the topic(s) handwrite a summary using the syllabus as a framework.
by handwriting you will learn the content a lot quicker. read, read, read
before the exam you should be able to recall the syllabus and also the content for each heading.
goodluck
