Hey guys,
So for PDHPE, Legal, and bio (but this question can pretty much apply to any subject), I have my study notes done for the topics I've learnt so far, and I know that you have to do heaps of past paper questions to do well, but how am I actually meant to study for it.
Like I tried to do a past question and I don't remember any of the content, so should I read over my notes first and then focus on questions.
and when I am reading over my notes, do I actually need to memorise it, or am I just making sure I understand it briefly.

i rlly don't know what I'm doing

you need to have memorised all of the main points and then whatever lies beyond it, so as in PE u need to actually have memorised most of the content (i suggest ATAR notes as they just cover what is needed without yapping endlessly unnecessarily). then just hand write all ur notes, again and again and again, (typing will not help, its muscle memory). write it on a board, do flow charts, mind maps, etc. imo whiteboards are the best and ive memorised 2 core's using one lol.
u dont do past papers until u have the content. Do the ^^ for at least 1 month, to complete the core, then polish off what you've memorised at first using note help for past questions/papers for a week or so, then do it without notes and see how you go for another week. at the end of that week see what you could/couldn't answer and work on that through drawing it/mind mapping, or just even creating analogies/mnemonics.
