It is essential to have good study methods to learn the content of the subjects (and there is alot of it to get through). What are some your study techniques? Explain.

Cheers.

Maths - understand the formulas and theory, and questions questions questions.
Chem and Phys - dotpoints, use the Dotpoint book and then, past papers, past papers, past papers.
Legal Studies - I haven't really formalised a study method for it yet. It's pretty much cram cram cram.
English - read the text, understand it, do the homework.

My major study 'method' is making sure I understand something inside out before moving on. How I do that depends on the subject and topic, I guess.

For maths and physics, it's do lots of questions, and try to derive the equations so they get fixed in my mind

For biol and chem, it's write out the main concepts on cheat sheets and stuff, and drawing diagrams to show how they're all linked together

And for English...well...I read a lot...

There's already a sticky compiled by Without Wings on this topic if I'm not mistaken.
