make summaries of summaries
its bset that you can relate and link different dotpoitn sof the same topic.
number of hours you should study is up to you depending on your style and taste, dont burn out!
i never really studied until like half yearlies trials and and so on basically before the exams.
do your hwk, that way the concepts can stay in your head
when making ntoes its good to present some syllabus dot points in dot point form, itm akes it easier for you to read, 1.5 line spacing, you wouldnt wanna study a page full of writing, so space it out, blocks of writing may deter your from studying so yeah
