Quick tips for using the notes

  • Read the whole topic first before attempting the end-of-topic quiz or questions.
  • Take your own notes as you study — summarising in your own words improves retention.
  • Complete the end-of-topic questions to test whether you have understood the concept, not just read it.
  • Review the feedback from quizzes carefully and go back to any topic where you scored low.
  • Discuss activities with classmates — the competency-based curriculum rewards collaboration and application.
  • Use for exam preparation — pair topical notes with past papers and timed mocks.
