Adapted from On Becoming a Master Student
by David B. Ellis and How to Study in College by Walter Pauk.
Create study checklists  that can help you identify all of the material that you will be tested on-- list notes, formulas, ideas, and text assignments you are accountable for.  This checklist will enable you to break your studying into organized, manageable chunks, which should allow for a comprehensive review plan with minimal anxiety.

Create summary notes that briefly map out the important ideas of the course and the relationships of these ideas. Such summary notes should display lists and hierarchies of ideas.  A bit of artistic flair will provide you with a visual framework that aids recall. 

Record your notes and significant portions of text on audio tapes so you can review material with a walk-man. Having a tape of important information will enable you to study while walking or relaxing in a nonacademic environment.

Create flashcards  for definitions, hypotheticals, or lists that you need to have memorized--put topics on one side of the card, answers on the other.  Flashcards will enable you to test your ability to not only recognize important information, but also your ability to retrieve information from scratch
