what is the easiest way to learn a subject you are rubbish at?

[luce]

I'm not rubbish at any subjects i take at the moment (if i still took art music etc it would be a different story) but i dont like math or science but i am still getting the A* because i just go for it like literally revise them until i know i know everything and it gives you so much confidence i find. I think that is half the thing if you think your really bad and you're going to fail this certain exam or subject you just have to believe you won't and put the work in (probs more then the subjects you find easy) and then it will pay off.

Another thing make it fun so if you like art and you hate math then draw stuff to help you remember and make your revision look good or whatever. It also depends what sort of learner you are. I love history and i learn well by writing everything down in a nice way with colours etc so what i did today was made a story board of the Watergate scandal in chronological order to revise it.

If you're getting bored/falling asleep while reading it - rewrite it or summarize it as you read it. If you're keeping yourself busy by recopying over your notes or by summarizing them it'll hopefully keep you from falling asleep. It also helps your remember the material.

What subject is this you're mainly talking about by the way? If its something like math, doing problems over and over will help you get better at it, and if its something thats more memorization based like biology, rewriting the notes like I mentioned above (doing it on the computer is easiest) will help a LOT! And Charl-Night's idea of notecards is also really good.

well science, L.L.W and others but mainly L.L.W because i have that exam in the first week back in Jan but need to revise the others after that lol

i was exactly like you when i was in school.

because i love IT - computers, I revised my notes by typing them on Microsoft Word, keep re-typing until you memorize it. keep going over and over and there you go

not great at it and a slow typer lol but thanks for the advice

Try some interesting online sites that your subject provides. Not ones with mad overloaded information but simple, helpful and easy to remember information. I usually use pictures and it doesn't help me an awful lot but i did alot of work on my subjects online.
