Study Skills and Techniques notes

Choosing Study Skills and Techniques notes

The notes on this page approach study from different angles. Learning Student Guide discusses making a realistic study plan, while Surviving Exams suggests breaking large tasks into shorter periods. Other notes cover memory, reading strategies and preparing for maths exams.

For a starting point, try Surviving Exams if a task feels too large to begin. Its preparation section gives you a way to divide the work. If planning your week is more pressing, start with Learning Student Guide instead.

Using notes in revision

Read a section, then use its suggestions to plan your next study session. Return to the note afterwards and consider which ideas you want to keep using. A note on revision strategy or concentration can give you another perspective when your needs change.

If you want to organise ideas visually or check your understanding, switch to a mind map or quiz on the unit page. Pick a note that matches the part of studying you want to work on.
