As difficult as in can be. . .study every day. Distributed practice is a far better study tactic than massed practice (i.e., "cramming" for a test). Re-write your lecture notes after a class. Generate examples for each term, when possible. Practice writing definitions, formula, and writing examples instead of just saying them in your head or studying off flash cards.
Finally, ask each of your professors what study techniques will help you succeed in his/her class.

Set aside study time daily. Even if for an hour or so. Set a clock so you don't spend time worrying about how much time is left. Don't study at work or on the bus, you spend too much energy on your environment. Select a place where you won't be disturbed. I don't like to study with someone else becuase you go slower. You can move at your own speed when you study alone.

Studying ahead.Don't wait till the day before to do something.
Practice,repetition.
Try different methods and decided which one is best for you.because it depends on the individual and what subject that your studying
Like when i am studying vocabulary,i memorize everything about the word,even if that means i am going to be tested on the piece of information.How to spell the word,the meaning.test yourself without looking at anything to help you.Everytime you find a pencil in your hand.
Gosh this is probably not going to help.But i try.

This is going to sound stupid, but it is true. Of all the students I have tutored, including myself, I have found that they falter when they fail to do homework as assigned. I imagine that is not your case. Keep up with your homework. Practice makes permanent. Perfect practice makes perfect. If you practice an error, then you will perform an error.
Some of the other suggestions are good as well. Eat your breakfast. Don't do homework or take tests when hungry or otherwise distracted unnecessarily.

Read, review and recite. Also, record on a voice device and listen with headphones over and over again, play as you are relaxing too. This helped me, I'm 51 and on the Deans list. Good Luck!!
