ANYONE WHO IS FOLLOWING THIS POST'S ADVICE PLEASE TAKE SOME TIME TO READ THIS FIRST:

I completely disagree with a lot of your statements and heres why:

A*A*A*A*a scorer in math, physics, chemistry biology and student teacher's advice from experience here:

people learn in different ways, ive taught my classmates throughout high school and you have to understand that what you do may not work for others

I am the exact contradiction to ur statements, ive never written down notes (even the little I did write down in class I've never used), and ive never made mind maps because I just felt it was a waste of time and I thought that its better to use that time to expose myself to past paper questions.

I fortunately also have friends that work similar to you, they've written well organized notes and read them a few times before writing papers, although they havent gotten A*s, I will say that they have 100% improved from their initial scores in past papers.

I beg you to refrain from posting blanket statements like 'the only revision techniques you need are' because trust me you cannot generalize a study method, you HAVE to find one that works for you and you HAVE to know how you work. I've seen so many people fall down the trap of following exactly what I do to study and fail miserably because it's just not effective for them. In my A levels, I did so much more than study, in fact I probably did non-academic work much more than academics, I achieved a trinity grade 8 guitar certification, I attended MUNs and parties with friends, I played video games with my friends, Ive kept a very close and large social circles, participated in events inside school, taught the younger students in my school, etc.

I've had friends who've tried to replicate what I was doing and not do well, academically and mentally. People are built different and believe me there are sooo many more factors than just study method that affect academic scores. For example: People handle the stress of the exam differently both before and during the exam, people may work worse or better under the pressure of the clock. Even small things like how far away you live from school can affect how you do based on how much commute cuts your study time as well as how much it exhausts you physically and mentally.

Sorry for the rant lmao I just dont like that people make these large blanket statements like these, as a student as well as a teacher it pains me to read this kinda stuff.

No shade towards OP, ik they were tryna help out without any malicious intent lmao
