How to use 2 hours of commuting per day?

Hi.

I'm 20 years old re-taking my IGCSEs and I have to drive 2 hours per day. I was wondering rather than listening to songs throughout my commuting, how can I take advantage of it?

2hours a day is 10 hours a week and I certainly don't want to waste them. I obviously can't read while driving so I tried reviewing what I studied in the morning in my mind but I always lose track of things.

I thought also of audiobooks but I have no idea where to look.

Any suggestions?

You always try recording yourself reading/explaining your notes or lessons, then listening to it back in the car. The process of recording yourself explaining things will also be super super helpful as a revision tool. :yy: :h: It should be easy enough to do through your phone/an app.

You could try recording it like a quiz, too? :holmes:

a wonderful way is to think of a bunch of facts and memorise them during your commute. maybe pick 20 facts you need to know and record them. just play them repeatedly :smile:

Language tapes, provided that that is one of your IGCSE's. You could also try audiobooks as well, but it may be difficult to find audiobook versions of IGCSE textbooks.
