    The only way to learn it is to open your book, read it and remember what you read. Just read over it and memorise the main points and definitions.

    Actually, I'd disagree with the above poster - I'd say the best way to learn it is to do as many questions as you can, you might read the whole chapter but how much of it will go into your head? Do all the questions in your book and the workbook for those chapters, then do the exam papers - try to answer them without looking at the book, then go back and correct yourself - active studying will make you remember it far better

    Thanks Fishie!! I actually found the "open the book" advice a bit insulting!!
    I'll do that though! Cheers!

    Well unless you wanna ace just one part of one exam in the leaving cert i think the first option is less time consuming. Seeing as it's a few days before the LC and you don't know how to study something i think the first reply is justified in it's tone.
