Hey, Elayg6!
If it's any consolation (which it may not be), I think
a lot of people will be in similar circumstances, so I guess that's a plus! BusMan truly is a content-heavy subject and, therefore, requires a bit of time and effort.
I agree with Glasses; mnemonics really helped me, too. But more than that,
personalised mnemonics really helped me. It's one thing to have a bunch of mnemonics essentially summarising the content, but at the end of the day,
you still need to remember those mnemonics. I tried to make all of my mnemonics personal, insofar as I made them relevant to what I liked. For me, that was cricket and footy, so I'd have all of my Business Management mnemonics about cricketers and footballers,
and (importantly) liking that mnemonic back to the main concept. (Tell me if this bit didn't make sense; I find it difficult to explain fully sometimes.)
Otherwise, I'm a pretty big fan of the hard work approach. I know you're not "meant" to, but I rote learnt definitions. Did it take ages? Yeah. Did it work? Also yeah. I also convinced family members and friends to
test me all the time. I found it great trying to talk through definitions and concepts; either, I did really well and became super confident with it ("Boo yah! I can do this!"), or I could tell precisely where I needed to improve ("... and... yeah, okay, I need to work more on this bit - could you go onto the next?").
Is there any content specifically you're struggling to keep in?
