Re: Study Tips
During term 1 at school:
By this time you shouldn't be focusing on old content as much as you should've done that during term 4 and during the school holidays, instead you should be focusing on new content except when you are preparing for your half yearlies

If you have already covered all the content and you feel very prepared for your half yearly then start past papers and analyse your weaknesses. Until then keep doing that until you have covered a wide range of questions and have covered every single bit they could possible ask in your half yearly (including scientific skills)Since you've already finished the second module of the sciences, it is now crucial that you take a different studying approach. Pay attention in class as this will reinforce what you just learnt in the school holidays. Every day after the teacher has gone through a specific dotpoint with you such as biopolymers, it is crucial that (when you go home) you look at the super detailed notes you made in the school holidays and start summarising that by cutting down on all the unnecessary information and writing what you just need for the exams. Also look at past papers sites like Dan964's THSC and look through the specific exam questions of what you just learnt that day, do the question, check if you were right or wrong and if you're wrong figure out why you were wrong. Understand the "first principles" of why you were wrong. If you are doing short answer and extended response questions, it is crucial that you write down the answer the question by addressing the verb and at the end having an evaluation. You should then bring this to your physics/chemistry/biology teacher for feedback and ask them "how many marks does this deserve" "how do I gain extra marks for this part" etc. If you haven't fulfiled the whole criteria it is important to redo the question and keep asking for feedback until you have filled the whole criteria
