Can somebody help me,

I'm just about to finish ex1 prelim and the last topic is circle Geometry.
To me it's just not making sense and we've just about finished the topice and I can't use the theorems without a formula sheet test in front of me let alone memorise them and the ridiculous wording of the reasoning

does anyone have anything idea's that would help the situation

If you don't know them already, learn all the features of a circle. That way, you won't be memorising the exact wording. Rather, you'll be using your understanding to construct the explanation.

Apply the formulae to a variety of questions. That way you can practice structuring your proofs and hence learn them off by heart. You could also show your teacher and ask he/she if your proof is acceptable. You don't have to memorise them word by word from your textbook, you just have to understand them and that way you can write a reasonable explanation.

Considering you started circle geo this late i advise you to go over your geometry. And know how to prove a cyclic quad, as it is very common in exams.
