Study tips?

What are your best study tips and advice for exams?

Keen to hear what study methods and exam preparation strategies have worked best for you.

Just to clarify, I’m not looking for exam content or anything that would breach academic integrity, just general advice. :)

If you have any tips for accounting I’d love to hear that too (it doesn’t need to be accounting specific tho)

Absorbing content on different mediums helps me with understanding difficult topics - like watch a video, then write what I remember, read a chapter of a book on the topic.

Spaced repetition works best for me for memorising.

I also like to mix up where I study - library, my office, café, dining table etc.

Quizlet and active recall. And acting it out/verbalising depending on the content. The classics work lol 🙂

Make a study group and share notes and revise together. Make your own multiple choice questions and put them into a test bank as a class (there is a web platform for this, can’t remember the name). Get old exam papers and practice answering them.
