Study hacks that worked for me

Dyslexia Scotland’s Young Ambassadors let you in on what helped them study for exams.

See if there’s an audio version or a documentary on the subject to help you get to grips with the topic.

Emma

Make the learning fun for you. I make my notes bright and colourful but you could turn them into a song or audio to make it more motivating.

Eilidh

Use YouTube videos to help you learn the topic and try past papers – then study more of the bits you get wrong.

Hamish

Start studying well ahead of the exams and use mind maps.

Rachel

Get someone to test your knowledge using flash cards.
