Begin reviewing early.
This will give your brain time to get comfortable with the information.
Conduct short daily review sessions.
You can ease into a more intense review session prior to major exams.
Prioritize assignments.
When studying, get in the habit of beginning with the most difficult subject or
task.
Read text assignments before lectures.
This will help you identify concepts that the professor considers important.
Review notes immediately after lectures.
This will help you identify information that you do not understand while the
lecture is still fresh in your memory--and other students' memories as well.
When you review immediately, you'll have time to clarify information with other
students.
Review with a study group.
This will enable you to cover important material that you may overlook on your
own.
Conduct a major review early enough.
This will allow you time to visit the instructor during his office hours if
necessary.
Break up the study tasks into manageable chunks.
Studying three hours in the morning and three in the evening will be more
effective than studying at a six hour stretch. Studying while you are mentally
fatigued is usually a waste of time.
Study the most difficult material when you are alert.
