Great question! Some study tips that worked for me included:
- creating a schedule at the beginning of each semester with important due dates. I would mark due dates on any calendar I used.
- creating a weekly and monthly to-do list to stay on top of readings and shorter assignments. I'd breakdown readings to be in more manageable chunks, and create outlines from the readings to guide notetaking in class and studying for later exams. I found it often helped me to complete reading assignments before class so I'd have a general concept of what would be covered before it was taught, but you may find the opposite to be true!
The one thing I wish I did better job with was reviewing materials as the semester went on. Final exams can cover A LOT of information, and I wish I did better job reviewing material throughout the class instead of waiting to study for big tests until the days leading up to it.
