I won’t lie—I don’t always read every single page of my notes.

But I’ve found a way that actually works for me: past questions.🔥

Here’s exactly what I do:

1. I start with past questions first

Before reading anything, I try to answer questions on my own.

Even if I get them wrong, it shows me how lecturers think.

2. I notice repeated patterns

You’ll be surprised—lecturers LOVE repeating questions.

Sometimes they just twist the wording a bit.

3. I use the questions to guide my reading

Instead of reading everything, I focus on topics that keep showing up.

This saves time and reduces stress.

4. I correct myself properly

I don’t just check answers—I understand why I got it wrong.

That part is very important.

5. I practice like it’s a real CBT

I time myself and avoid checking notes.

It helps me get used to exam pressure.

What I’ve noticed:

- I remember things faster

- I don’t feel overwhelmed

- I go into exams more confident

This method may not be perfect for everyone, but it has really helped me.

If you’re struggling to read everything, try this approach and see if it works for you.
