Studying...

Just wondering how long it takes everyone to study lol. I have been trying to study chemistry for hours now and it just does not go in !! Usually (for all other subjects) I spend 15mins per chapter

I think it's really just varies from person to person.

I tend to just break things down and make a quick plan up. Study for an hour, 15 minute break and then do the same thing again. It's just revision at this stage so I find exam papers the best way to study.

I wish it was just revision at this stage!! I have to take a lot of topics from the start and work through them.

I think I study in a very haphazard way. I kind of just study whatever I feel like studying, I might sit down for 5 hours and learn chemistry experiments one day and then another day I'll flick through equilibrium for 10 minutes or something and decide it's grand. There's no structure whatsoever to it. :L

Are there many topics that you need to go over in detail? I am starting to get worried now as I have a lot...

Yeah, half the course. :L There's loads of time left though. I also have to study for physics this weekend.

Yay, so it is not just me I have the entire minus the organic to do. Thank you so much I was really starting to panic!! P.s I know you will be brilliant in both.
Good luck!!

if you have exam papers for the subjects you're doing you should try answering the questions into the papers themselves! it saves time. :P and just add in a few extra points here and there from your books/notes as you go along as they might help in the real thing!
i think that helps me to remember things anyways.. (:
:pac:

Well since Wednesday after French, I will have had 6 days before my Chemistry exam, and another 3 until my Applied Maths. So far I've spent around 8 hours a day on one applied maths topic, with Sunday/Monday/Tue morning going to be dedicated to chemistry before back to the rest of the applied maths!

Sad thing is I am making hardly any progress in getting answers right, and I've gone through 20 years of exam papers -.-

With applied maths?
