Practice studying by yourself or with friends. Test yourself with old exams, do quizzes and flash cards – review and discuss with a small group of friends.
Outline and rewrite your notes in a way that makes sense to you and your learning style. Connect similar concepts using your own words and structure.

How you approach studying matters: aim to think positively and treat it as an opportunity to learn, not a necessary task. Play with it and enjoy it; focus in on it.
