Your brain keeps what you use, so test yourself often. After a study session, close the book and write down what you remember. Check the gaps and try again tomorrow.
Short sessions work better than one long night. Study for 30 minutes, then rest for five.
Revise little and often. A few minutes a day beats a whole weekend of panic. Lerato Molefe, Study Group CoordinatorSleep, water and a proper breakfast also help you remember more on the day of the test.
Space out your revision
Go back to each topic after one day, one week and one month. This spacing helps facts move into long-term memory. Use a simple wall planner to track it.
Explain it to someone
Teach a friend or a younger sibling what you just learnt. If you get stuck, you have found the part to study again.

Good advice from people who clearly know learners. The part about studying on a small budget was very useful for us in Galeshewe. Well done, Leerkring.
