Form study groups with classmates. Teaching others helps you understand concepts better, and you can learn from different perspectives. Set specific goals for each study session and hold each other accountable.
Study for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. After 4 sessions, take a longer 15-30 minute break. This helps maintain focus and prevents mental fatigue.
Visualize information by creating mind maps. Start with a central topic and branch out with related concepts. This helps you see connections between ideas and improves memory retention.
Instead of just re-reading notes, test yourself on the material. Use flashcards, create practice questions, or explain concepts out loud. This strengthens memory better than passive reading.
