how do i find an effective way to study?

Telling someone about what I've learnt.

Who do you tell?

You.

On a serious note usually the people I hang out with. They get annoyed so I just go off on a tangent. It's just understanding the concepts and then the application comes easy for me.

Read the textbooks and make notes based on your own understanding in your own words.

Get a study buddy!

I find making notes useful. Even highlighting keywords and definitions is more likely to make you remember the information rather than reading

You can makes notes (Either condense what you have to learn, or only right down the bits you really can't remember). I like to condense, then when I go back to it, I try to condense those notes and so on until you get it.

You can make flashcards with questions, which care always nice. Like say you had a fact you had to remember: 'The chemical formula of salt is NaCl'. On one side write 'What is the chemical formula of salt?' and the other write 'NaCl'.

You can also try past paper/past questions to test your knowledge and see if it's sticking. Also shows you where you need to improve, or where you're doing fine.

Working in groups helps, as you can learn together or test each other.

I'm sure there's many other ways to learn o/

Telling someone about what I've learnt.

As has been said, the best form of revision likely involves answering questions.

Having said that, I'll be entering my second year of uni and I'm still not entirely sure how to study. All I know is that I get slightly better at it every year.

I found that using revision guides to
make short notes on index cards was useful
Alternatively make notes from your exercise book or use the syllabus extract from that subject������
If you are doing AQA science then I found the videos on 'mygcsescience.com' really helpful to explain things that I didn't understand

I am doing aqa science! thank you soooo much
