I'm in year 10 and my last thread was about my 'mini-textbook' method etc. and I was asking for your opinions on whether it was too much. The majority of the responses suggested this so I tried out a new method this week:
- Do homework
- Record 'mini-lectures' (I am an auditory learner). Each 2 - 3 mins in length, for subjects attended to that day summarising key information in the lesson.
- For 2 subjects a day, make a PowerPoint slide on at least 5 points for each subject for every point on the specification.
- Free time.
All of this took me 3 hours, however I didn't mind it. I preferred it much more to my previous method, and I felt it was extremely effective. However I don't quite like how time-consuming it is, so I've decided to cut it down. I wanted your opinion on WHICH METHOD DO YOU FEEL WOULD BE BETTER? (excluding homework):
1) Recording the mini-lectures, listening over to them, then teaching an imaginary class the key points to check I understood it OR
2) Doing the PowerPoint slides for exam subjects
I combined all of these methods together because I didn't want to feel like I wasn't paying enough attention to my other subjects. For example, of I only focus on studying for my exam subjects I may fall behind in the ones I don't have exams in?
Before you suggest studying a month prior to the exams (they are in June btw, I have 6 exams in 4 subjects, two are re-sits) I learn best by long-term revision. Thanks in advance!
