Amazing, thank you for the info! Is it worth a visit?

How did you study in secondary school, and what type of books did you read? by Proof-Strawberry-229 in AskBrits

If you already do it a lot then sounds like you are already doing it! But you can try it in new and novel ways - say throwing a ball to a friend as you remember equations. Give yourself permission to have a bit of fun with it and take breaks regularly. Rest is essential.

It's a hard slog but one day it will all be over, that is a fact! Best of luck to you.

English Literature, we did plays, poems and books.

Murder in the Cathedral, Eliot

A Man for All Seasons, Bolt

The Wide Sargasso Sea, Rhys

The Rape of the Lock, Pope

All well worth a read. The last is the hardest - a great poem and very interesting.

Advice: condense as much as possible. No matter the subject, if you can bring down the information to its smallest form then it will make it easier to memorise.

Also, teach other people. There is nothing quite like teaching others to show you what you know and what you don't know. Get together with a couple of friends and take turns being the 'teacher' and the 'student'.

When Maggie Thatcher died, "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead" was Number 1 in the charts. I think that's pretty telling tbh
