How to learn new things without going to college.

I am trying prepare for my BTEC Exam I have 6 months to revise I have done a mock paper but I can see what topics I need to improve on.

How would I learn these topics without having a tutor teach me it?

What do you mean how would you learn these topics? If you know what topics you need to learn, go and revise them. I'd think that if you didn't go college then you'd have it all under control and planned. If you can't self teach yourself then college is the only option.

So what your saying is that there’s no need to worry until college starts? I thought people still revised after college to get the best grades they can

Are you going to be completing the course with a college eventually (and this is just to get ahead) or are you fully self teaching?

If you've done past papers to identify weak areas, use resources (internet/books/videos) to try and get your head around the content. Even if it means you're just familiar with it, it will help when your college go through the material :smile:

Exactly! If you read ahead, you don't need to understand it all, just have a basic understanding so that you know what's happening in class, rather than having to catch up or spend time getting your head around it after the event.

Good luck! :smile:
