The Lighthouse

• Start by making a plan for your study time.
• Then collect information from the notes you’ve made during the course of the paper.
• Then pick out the most important points and makes summaries.
• There are lots of different ways of to organise information (charts, diagrams, matrixes etc.). A great way to ensure that you’ll remember the material (both for the exam and after!) is to actively think about the material. Try and make connections with what you already know and think about how it relates to other material within the course. Then organise it in a way that makes sense to you.
• Once you’ve organised your material in your own way you’ll be in a great position to start memorising in.
