Is this a legit study technique? (1 Viewer)

[w8t4hope]

Ever since i started studying for school - around year 9 i think - i have always followed one study technique:
make notes on syllabus points, print them off on an A4 sheet, and just memorise them.

Is this a good study technique and will it get me through year 11/12, or is there a 'better' or more 'efficient' technique u would recommend?

cheers

This study technique that you have been using is fine. Just so you know, UWS and Newcastle University/UNE offer five year medicine degree programs. UNSW's MBBS takes SIX years to complete and the end result is the same - an internship, residency and specialisation.

if it works for you, its fine, but make sure you understand the concept of each point

You'll ace Physics and Chem if you use that technique.

 

[Schoey93]

Physics and Chem aren't as difficult as the awesome scaling implies.

 

[w8t4hope]

ah thanks schoey.
may i ask, how do you know so much if your a HSC 2011 like me?

 

[Schoey93]

I don't know "so much". I presume you're being sarcastic. Are you?
People on BoS who have done Phys and Chem report that they weren't too difficult. It depends on the individual however.

you can memorise the dot points, but every time you do, you must make sure that you truly understand each concept because a lot of HSC questions aren't straightfoward, they require you to APPLY your knowledge. Try to locate questions relevant to each dot point to test your understanding.

If and only if every HSC Physics paper was like that of this year... it'd be awesome!

Do more past paper questions; there's no point memorising content if you can't apply it.

^ you need to do around 100+ past papers for maths.

anyway, back to the original post:

IF IT WORKS FOR YOU, then of course it is a LEGIT STUDY TECHNIQUE!!!!

that is a good idea.

I was going to do:
- revise daily
- make weekly notes
- make chapter summaries
- make condensed notes
- practice questions
- oh yeah and notes based on syllabus points.


Lol is that too much? I probably won't even do it anyway.

LMAO i think i might've done < 50 past papers for each subject XD

that is a good idea.

Sounds like a 99.95 ATAR plan, but whether you are going to do it and effectively is the question
