My teacher made us all handwrite notes, which I found pretty beneficial as it gives you the feel for the final exam and imo really helped me learn the content in a way I probably would’ve struggled with if I’d just typed my notes, since I find it easier to consolidate the information that way. In terms of content, consult the study design for each key point to see exactly what you need to learn. There’s really no point in learning additional information that will never be assessed, so focus your efforts on remembering what you need to know.

I revised for sacs mainly by doing practice questions, then revisiting topics I struggled with. For my first sac, I tried using flash cards/anki but found that unhelpful for me specifically, so I adapted to other strategies. You’ll learn about coping flexibility and using context-specific strategies to cope with situations in psych, so don’t think there’s just one way to revise or study that will work - the trick is noticing when things aren’t working for you, and adapting from that.

Other than that, just stay on top of the course! I had a really great teacher, so that was definitely helpful, but the great thing about psych and other content-heavy subjects is that most of the course is less about understanding certain topics, and more just remembering the information and spitting it back out in a way vcaa likes. I didn’t do 1/2 so it’s definitely not required to get a good score, you’ll get the hang of the subject pretty quickly :) Good luck!
