Well.......for English I get these sheets off my teacher and they r really good! So all I do for studying English is go over the sheets and take out valid points about the plot, setting, themes, and techniques used by the author.........I find it really effective, but thats just me!
For Engineering Studies I dont do any study basically......bcoz I find it really easy....im about 89% average (raw) assessment marks.
For Physics, I do basically the same as I do with English, but instead I use my textbook.
There basically the subjects i can give u details on studying techniques (bcoz im lazy)!
So to answer ur question......probably just read through the topic ur doing......nd then take out valuable information which relates to syllabus dot points, nd write it out.......then READ OVER IT, ND OVER IT, ND OVER IT, ND OVER IT.......nd so on.....until u think uv read it enough.....THEN READ IT AGAIN!
It might sound like a lot.......but if u get used to it........its really effective!
