How should I memorise lots of content for my science subjects?
On digital format on a docs or on paper? I know this sounds like a basic question but I figured that the notes and resources I create for myself seem to be useless as I don't even find them effective when going through them. I also have really bad handwriting and I have just under 1 week to make any resources

Hi @Ohio2trappy
The format of your notes is up to you - I normally do a combination of digital and paper notes.
I used to make mindmaps for science rather than written notes as I found that I learnt better this way. I would make it and then rewrite it without looking to test what I could remember. Using this format also meant that I had to summarise information rather than just copying out of a text book.
Another option would be to make flashcards instead of notes, as you would then be able to use these to test what you can remember which will help you to learn the content.
Hope that helps!

Use repetition to firmly lodge information in your memory. Repetition techniques can involve things like flash cards, using the simple tips in this section, and self-testing. Space out your studying and repetition over several days, and start to increase the time in between each study session. This technique is typically seen in response to a reading or a lesson, and it's an organized and focused way for you to review your notes and test your memory. You write down 3 things you learned, 2 things that made you curious or confused, and 1 thing that you learned or should do with what you learned. a study technique where you write down everything you can remember about a topic without worrying about organization, accuracy, or completeness, then use your notes to identify gaps in your knowledge.
