University of St. Thomas, St. Paul, Minn (Sept. 1998).
| Begin reviewing early. | This will give your brain time to get comfortable with the information. |
| Conduct short daily review sessions. | You can ease into more intense review sessions prior to major exams. |
| Read text assignments before lectures. | This will help you identify concepts that the professor considers important and that are already somewhat familiar. |
| Review notes immediately after lectures. | This will help you identify information that you do not understand while the lecture is still fresh in your memory--and other students' memories as well. When you review immediately, you'll have time to clarify information with other students. |
| Review with a group. | This will enable you to cover important material that you may overlook on your own. |
| Conduct a major review early and frequently | A major review allows time for a visit to the instructor during his office hours if necessary. |
| Break up the review tasks into manageable chunks | Especially during major reviews prior to exams. Studying three hours in the morning and three in the evening will be more effective than studying at a six hour stretch. Studying while you are mentally fatigued is usually a waste of time. |
| Study the most difficult material when you are alert. | |
