The whole point of studying is to retain what you have read so it serves you in an examination.

1. Study in sessions:

Your ability to retain information diminishes after about 25-30 minutes, so break it up into multiple, smaller sessions. Reward yourself with fun activities during your breaks

2. Get in a quiet area:

Don't study where you do anything else. Don't study in your bed, where you play games (even if it's your computer), or in front of the TV.

3. Quiz yourself:

Study actively with focus on recollection. Quiz yourself and don't just glance over highlighted notes.

4. Study to teach:

If you can teach it to someone else, you have a solid grasp on the material.

5. Take notes:

Find a note-taking method that works for you and expand on them after your class lecture to increase retention and understanding.
