focus on what you don’t know. then read it every day until you can recite the information yourself. find ways to make it make sense to you

I learned this trick from my psych professor: if you’re cramming (which he says is the worst way to study but he knows people do it lol), start from the middle/anywhere but the beginning or end because of the primacy and recency effects (things you learn first or last tend to stick with you more)

On the other hand, he also says the best way to study is to read over your notes every day and make sure you know it while it’s fresh in your mind. That way you don’t have to cram, and when you know what you learned that day, you’re more focused on the next topic
