yuiceI study a decent chunk of questions (like 20 or so) or a preview exam. I do each problem. Then I play a pug or something for about 1 hour. Then I do problems again. I repeat the process until I get all the questions right. Seems to work pretty well for me.
i work with people for studying habits and this is something a lot of people work well with. Studying properly in general is about not getting burned out, especially in college. A lot of teachers use learning objectives or something so it can be easy to make questions like these, but setting up something like 10-20 questions or a few concepts and making yourself write out a paragraph then taking a break works well ime. Generally following a strategy of 1:2 or 1:3 study : break time helps if you find yourself fucking around but in general the best way to succeed in college is try to work the course material into your daily routine. Whenever you're making dinner or waiting on a pug just look over that day's lesson and try to write down what you know or something helps drill shit in.
If you're gonna cram: always look over the material at least 2-3 nights before an exam since REM sleep is important in remembering things. Make day one about the entire test's materials and work on the small stuff on later days.
i have more study tips cause I had to go to a seminar about this shit its actually really neat
