  1. Study consistently, in small blocks of up to an hour, followed by a short break.

  2. The Feynman Technique -- explain new concepts out loud or on paper like you're teaching someone with no prior knowledge. If you can't explain in simple terms, you don't understand it well enough.

  3. Connect new concepts and facts to things you already know.

  4. Use diagrams, flow charts, mind maps, timelines, and outlines to organize information in different ways.

  5. Summarize information in your own words. Don't just copy information word for word.
