SDD Study (1 Viewer)

[Shazer2]

What do you guys suggest as being the best approach to studying SDD? I've never studied it, and needed some insight. Should I just cover all the syllabus dot-points for things I'm unsure of?

 

[harrisony]

nail each dot point and then nail all the question x's for each year and then nail all the question y's

 

[Shazer2]

What do you mean by x and y?

I've got no idea how I achieved 95/100 for my externals for SDD without really taking it seriously... but in the days leading up (cramming), I wrote extremely brief notes from the Davis textbook, then did a bunch of past papers, making sure I looked at marking guidelines and sample responses. And perhaps trying to provide responses better than the sample ones.

For studying in general, I'd probably do something similar; write notes with the syllabus as a guide, and make sure I'd practise applying the knowledge on questions from textbooks or shortening notes further.

The missing ingredient that Shazer will need.

I suck at studying, so unproductive.

I don't actually know what I'm doing when I study. Yesterday I just wrote notes on just about everything I've covered in SDD, but what do I do when I "study" them?

You need a more structured approach (accidental pun). You should use the syllabus in conjunction with the textbook. Break it down into chapters. Maybe learn 1 chapter in detail per week.

I think I should just get these exams out of the way, then put a lot more effort in.
