Looking at previous notes or writing completely new ones? (1 Viewer)

For half-yearly's, they consisted of 2 topics which are also included in the yearly exams along with two other topics.

With content-heavy subjects such as Biology, Business Studies etc., I have a limited time (2 weeks) to completely study for the exams. I've already created notes for the half-yearly's which have those topics, and I'm restudying them for future exams. Should I just somehow revise them or completely redo them? It seems more helpful to redo notes but it is time-consuming thus less efficient.

It's up to you-if doing notes is the main way by which you remember content in your head, then by all means consider it, but I concur with WrittenLoveLetters-at this stage, you should see whether you can get your hands on any past trial papers int he relevant subjects and practice them under exam conditions.

Guys I know Past Papers are effective for revision. However, creating notes for summarising the syllabus etc. is still necessary in order to know all of the info within the topics.

Past Papers do not necessarily include every point of the syllabus but they are good for revision. Really I'm asking 'How do you do your notes? Revise your old ones? Or create completely new ones?'

Probably condense them down into the most important bits of information you can remember (and really, that's something only you can figure out yourself). Also actually understanding what your notes mean will make it easier for you to remember them, as opposed to rote learning.
