To really remember what you study, you need to do more than just read or highlight your notes. You should focus on active learning, which means testing yourself and engaging with the material in different ways.
One of the best methods is spaced repetition. This means reviewing your notes at increasing intervals, like after 1 day, then 3 days, then a week. By spacing out your study sessions, you give your brain time to remember and understand the material better.
Another powerful method is active recall. This means testing yourself without looking at your notes. You can try to explain what you've learned out loud or write down everything you remember about a topic. Every time you try to recall something from memory, it helps make that information stick.

Color coding notes can be a helpful tool as well. It creates a visual memory boost, pattern recognition, and makes for faster recall. This can work especially well if you apply a simple color system to link like content and subject matter.

Repetition is your greatest tool, but to be most effective try to find out what material you learn the best. Reading over notes, listening to lectures, or your own internet research. Once you find the method that works best for you, dedicate the time and avoid distractions
