Im struggling

Try mindmaps--Tony buzan on tinternet.
I'm dyslexic and with the help of mindmaps i got a 2.1 honours degree in counselling and psychotherapy, and am now doing a masters in CBT.
You can get a huge amount of information in a mind map,and revising is really simple--just do a map to test your memory. when you get your exam paper you simply do the relevant mind map on the margin and away you go.
Best of luck

I used to find I'd remember stuff if I wrote it down. It was the only way I was guaranteed to remember so I used to write notes in every lecture, even if we were given notes.

I could learn presentations word for word by writing it out in full twice!

That's just me though cuz I'm weird!

Lots of hints about revision, so here's a few about how to sit an exam...

...Read the paper first. Its worth spending five minutes doing this...

...Ignore the frantic scribbling from the person on the left. Just because they are scribbling doesn't mean they are doing it right...

...Pick the question you think will be easiest to answer, and do it. Sod the order of the questions - its points on the board that count...

See? Exams are easy...

The best way is to do something with the information. Just reading it is not enough; it'll go in one ear and out the other...at best, you'll remember a few things, but no-where near enough to remember.

If you can get hold of past exam papers, or example questions, then that would be great.

I find that writing down as much as I can about a particular topic helps - you'd be suprised at what you can recall. At first you might need your notes to help you, but you'll absorb stuff, and eventually be able to write a whole essay on that topic with no help at all.

Try and condense each topic into one A4, or even A5 side of key points. The parts that are important, that you can commit to memory and when you recall them, they enable younto work out the rest.

Hope this helps, and best of luck.

Only way that works for me, is reading my study material, making notes on what i read, the info i make notes on seems to go in as i'm writing it and i remember it
