Hi! This is another small notebook I made for studying biochemistry at the start of last school year. I use this notebook to first study my notes and then I write questions about everything that appears on the notes.
My favourite methods for studying subjects like biology or history are spaced repetition and active recall. Here is how to use it:
Write down questions that cover everything you need to learn from your notes (or textbook).
Test yourself on those questions, without looking at your notes. At the end, you can check all your answers, as if you were the professor.
Try to answer the questions you got wrong after a short pause, until you're able to answer every question correctly.
Repeat 3 days later, 1 week later, 2 weeks later, 1 month later. Spacing study sessions like this will make the information stick in your long-term memory, so you don't forget what you learn.
I know it can be hard starting to study for a test a couple months before it. You can surely adapt this method to your schedule and maybe you want to do 3 or 4 repetitions instead of 5. I hope this method helps you boost your performance in exams if you decide to give it a try!
