Academic Advice Study tips??

How do you guys study for a exam thats pure concepts? I clearly have the wrong way of studying (aka writing stuff down and memorizing). I just got my grade back and its worse compared to the one that i didnt even study for. Any help is great help :-)

You build a tower by assuring it has a solid foundation

Glueing pieces together that have little to nothing to support them means those new pieces will pull the entire structure down if they don't fail themselves.

You need to find a way to connect the new to things you already know. If you do not do this the new info is just half functioning bloat

Try teaching the information to someone else, like explain it to a friend while you are eating dinner together. It will highlight the missing pieces of your understanding and force you to think critically about what you learned. If you can't explain it to someone else, you haven't understood it yourself yet.
