    vey useful info and i can couch for most of what you are saying. these are the techniques i use to make sure I’m always above that 70% level. but one I’ll take away is the exam practice with a partner and comparing answers, that’s a good one. thanks for this 👍🏽

    This is an amazing video - never usually watch study help videos but I'm 100% using this one - just one question: I love the idea of rewriting my notes after every lecture but I have an awful feeling I will get lazy and won't rewrite them after every lecture lol. How did you manage to keep it up? Also congrats on your first, I'm doing econ too (second year in 2 weeks time!) and I'm so impressed!

    • @Streetorvintage
      @Streetorvintage  7 років тому +5

      thank you so much! Haha the same thing happened to me, I think the best thing is to do is going to the library straight after the lecture( or on the day)and just rewrite it then :) I just tried to have all of the week's lecture notes rewritten by the end of the week - you can get a lot of notes done on the weekend :) Good luck for second year!!

    Such a good video! 😍 One little question, can colour coordinating your notes be useful? or perhaps time wasting? And what other ways could colour be incorporated into notes/organisation?

    • @Streetorvintage
      @Streetorvintage  7 років тому

      Thank you! I think it depends a lot on whether you're a visual learner - colour coordinating defo helps some people so you should try it out and see :) Personally I felt that it didn't help me too much , I only wrote in blue , black and red (black for main text, blue for key sentences and red for formulas/key definitions etc)

    Hey! Congrats on your first xxx I just wanted to ask one question since I’m planning to go to surrey. Iv heard that students have exams after Christmas holidays, so does that mean that it is difficult to go on holiday as we would need to revise? I’m asking because my family are planning a 2 week trip abroad at the end of the year to see some family (between 16th dec to 1st jan), but I may not go if I need to revise for exams...

    Can you please help me. I applied for accounting and finance and I have put it a conditional offer, I want a career both in finance and in investment at some point in my life but people have told me to do finance and economics as a degree instead as it is a broader and more academic subject and that accounting and finance is frowned upon and is becoming more like business degree. From your your point of view as an economics student, do you think I should swap.
    Thank you

    Asking for advice: hello everyone in UK education environment. I am a mature international students who have struggled to support myself for education. I do not live in UK and I study online. Fortenateley, I managed to have tow postgraduate certificates from City University and Derby, and I have been accepted at Portsmouth in the Masters programme. However, since I do not have an undergraduate degree, BA or Bsc, I still have a lack in my CV regardless of my experience or high education and I find difficulty to explain to everyone asking me about my first degree how I was involved and accepted directly to postgraduate level. At the same time I do not have an area in the rest of my life or financial capacity to start a new 3 years BAand want to continue to PHD after the MA. Recently, I have been accepted by Edinburgh Napier to take the BA top up in Business management during a period of a year. The top up is equal to the last year of BA,120 credits. Do you find it beneficial to take this BA as a quick alternative for the first degree I have not had yet? I insist on having it to fill the gap in my CV and to stop people's wonders about my educational history. Furthermore, many PHD entry requirements asks for a previous undergraduate degree before the MA.

    • @Streetorvintage
      @Streetorvintage  7 років тому +1

      Aside from stationary stores, I'd defo recommend Urban Outfitters (www.urbanoutfitters.com/en-gb/journals-notebooks) - they look so pretty and you can make them into bullet journals :) But if you wanted 2017/18 academic journals, then WHSmith have some good ones - www.whsmith.co.uk/dept/stationery-diaries-12x00004

      yep for most exams they didn't release past mark schemes! I think it depends more on the course than the uni - even at Surrey, people on other courses did have access to all the past mark schemes. I think they just don't really release it for Econ
