Understanding, not memory, is the foundation of college learning. The trick is to study to understand, then memorize what is important. The place to begin to understand is the textbook. Studying is different from reading. We read the newspaper, a recipe, a novel. The purpose is usually to acquire information or to be entertained. To study is to apply the mind so as to acquire understanding and knowledge.
The first type of study is learning from your textbook. Studying a textbook is a careful and thoughtful process. At the beginning of the semester, examine your text just as you would examine any new tool. How are the chapters organized? Are they grouped into units with introductions? What is the structure of each chapter? Do they contain case studies, summaries, introductory outlines, boxed inserts, graphs and charts, problems, questions? What appendices exist? Is there a glossary (a dictionary of terms used in the book), index, background information (science books often contain an explanation of the scientific method, and government books contain the Constitution, and so on)? If a study guide exists for the text, buy it; it is worth every dollar.
Be sensible about where, when, and how you study. Study first, then party, rather than the other way around. Study during the day if possible (the soaps will still be there on holidays). Turn the television off. Sit at a table or desk. Use a good light. Music is okay if the volume is low. Schedule specific times to study, just as if you were going to work. Study at a high energy time because effective studying is hard work and you will need all the energy you can get.
Complete the attached checklists in order to be aware of distractions.
Try this plan for reducing internal distractions and increasing the amount of time you can read productively:
Begin with a relatively easy assignment as a "warm-up." Divide the assignment into three or four segments.
Read the first segment. When your attention starts drifting, stop, turn away from the book, note the number of paragraphs you were able to read with concentration. Briefly review those paragraphs and remind yourself of the key points, then continue reading this first segment. Repeat this process as often as necessary until you complete the segment.
When you finish the first segment, note the average number of paragraphs you were able to read with concentration. If your average was, say, four, set a goal of six for the next segment.
Skim the next segment and mark the end of the passage you hope to read without distraction.
Repeat step (b) until you have worked through the second segment.
Work through the entire assignment using this technique.
Describe aloud or write the main content of the assignment you just read.
Take a short relaxing break, then turn to a more challenging assignment, using the same technique.

Everyone has their own method & you need to figure out what yours is. Have a dedicated place to do your studying, keep it stocked with any supplies you might need, and try as much as possible to have a set time every day for studying. Stay away from distractions like TV or conversations; some people like total silence when they study, some like a little music playing. Experiment and see what works best for you.

In the back of your text may be chapter questions, answer each question. Make note cards, it is time consuming, but it helps. Use a white board (dry-erase) and write out each word, sentence, or phrase, then answer each one.
While you study make sure you give yourself a 30 minute break, treat yourself to coffee or hot chocolate, and take a walk. Get plenty of sleep the night before each test and especiall your
final(s).

i am a very "repetative" studier. So i often have to read the book once, do the homework, and then read it again. Often, I read the textbook the day before the teacher teaches the material so i can grasp it easier... in addition, i ask a ton of questions in class.

I learned from taking medical class that you can remember things more if you see them, so make flash cards.
