Hi @Angelique_webb I recommend making notes / flashcards, then closer to the exams swap this out for memorising the flashcards, doing past papers and getting friends to hold the flashcards and quiz you. Try sticking to just the work hours of the day e.g. 9-6 and always have a rest day once a week where you do no studying or work at all. It's important to rest your brain and prevent burnout otherwise the studying can become useless. Also, speak to your teachers after class and ask if you could have a chat about your grades and how to improve them. You can go over your past papers and see what it is you mainly struggle with as this will give you advice that's tailored to you. It's better to work on the specific stuff you struggle with from this tailored advice as that is how you will see the biggest improvements the fastest. For improving memorisation, try out the pomodoro technique as this allows you to use your brain better and maximise memorisation. Also, it may sound silly but visual mind maps also really help as it makes you use the right hand side of your brain not just your left, and visual information is much easier to memorise than long textbooks.

Hope this helps!
