once you've down all your notes etc...
create on big huge mind map of your core topic like for e.g.
Factors Affecting Peformance
- Critical question; (found in outcomes 2nd edition text book)
- then jot down the main sub headings, that you would answer the question with.. e.g. Psychology - mental rehearsal, visualisation, etc...
its helps heaps... my teacher does this and gives us all a photocopy on A3 size paper.... get ur teacher to do that if there not alreadi doin it... its soo much easier... cuz usualli in pd... questions are very general which means u need heaps of points (from syllabus) to talk about... and having a mind map... in ur 'planning' just dot down the main sub headings to the answer and write away
btw using someone else's notes are shit... last yr i solely relied on that for pd... and it suckd... typing it out first of all does look good... but its not alwaiiz gonnalook that pretty... write it down on paper etc... get use to writing quick and efficiently (succinctly)....
hope that helps
