should i just use someone elses notes and use like gizmo and memorise it that waydepends on the subject i think -
if you are doing content heavy subjects (bio, histories, food tech, etc.), then why don't you consider finding online band 6 notes and using them? at this rate notetaking is not going to be very beneficial compared to memorising and applying knowledge in practice tests.
if your subjects are more analytical (maths, chem, physics, etc.), don't make notes, just start practice questions and refer to your textbook if you get stuck.
never seen authentic band 6 notes. i bought some from some megamind 99.999993637 atar and I stg it was like an inside joke the organisation was weird, no syllabus headings, copywrite warnings every 2 lines, 100 bucks out of my pocket. they were concise to the point idk what was going on. where was I? why are we talking about child support out of nowhere? idk that's me thoshould i just use someone elses notes and use like gizmo and memorise it that way

How would you go with memorising the content for heavy content subjects? (business, eco, etc). Trials in 4 weeks I've forgotten all the content for all my subjects and I believe I am quite cooked.depends on the subject i think -

i don't do either so i can't really give specific advice - but i do do content heavy subjects like ancient and bio. i still need to fix up my ancient notes (planning on doing that by sunday) and i'm done with bio.How would you go with memorising the content for heavy content subjects?

Practice questions aren't ALWAYS the way to go for big essays and larger responses- you just don't have the time. definitely multi choice and short answer though.dont waste time making ur own notes, js go through others notes from like studocu and put through unriddle.ai and other platforms, u wanna be doing practice questions instead of passive learning
i agree - essay plans are very helpful as well!Practice questions aren't ALWAYS the way to go for big essays and larger responses- you just don't have the time. definitely multi choice and short answer though.
Hey, how do you actually learn the content from doing past papers? Should I do them with or without notes?i don't do either so i can't really give specific advice - but i do do content heavy subjects like ancient and bio. i still need to fix up my ancient notes (planning on doing that by sunday) and i'm done with bio.
the thing with content subjects is that you could memorise two ways. for example, for ancient, i'm not going to properly memorise it - i'm gonna practice consistently over the next 2 weeks open book. if you practice long enough, the facts will just stick. for bio, though, i'm not starting practice papers until i go through all the content. by this i mean that i literally pace around my room, reading my notes aloud to myself until they stick. obviously i'm gonna forget some of it when i start papers, but i'll have at least a vague idea of what to say. that way, i can always refer back to my notes and add more nuance where it is needed.
if you have forgotten the content, i would recommend going with the first method - doing practice papers and learning content as you go. then again, you still have 4 weeks, so maybe you could even devote one more week to just memorising (reciting notes, flashcards, etc.). anyhow, that's what i would do. good luck!
