Hi! Everyone studies differently, so here are some helpful tips. A good study plan might be: review content, do practice questions or recall exercises, then review again.
For content review, simply reading might not be enough. Try summarizing: read a page, then write a summary in your own words. You can also create diagrams to connect ideas, or doodle images that help you remember facts.
After reviewing content, practice questions or recall exercises are crucial. Practice questions help test your memory. For recall, take a blank sheet and write everything you remember about a topic.
The last step is to review your practice work. It's best to separate this review from when you did the practice. For example, do practice questions in the morning and review them in the evening, or practice one day and review the next. This helps identify areas that need more attention.
Example Schedule: In the morning, review and practice questions on Topic B. In the evening, review the practice work you did on Topic A the previous day.

I agree with Sydney's advice. Focus on your main points that you wrote down and practice the tests. Keep it simple, easy, and smart.

Sydney's response is great! Try studying in short, focused sessions. Work for 25–30 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. Do this 3–4 times in a row.

The best way to study is to keep it simple and steady. Instead of trying to learn everything at once, have short study sessions of about 25 to 40 minutes with small breaks. This approach is more effective than long, overwhelming sessions. Engage in active studying by quizzing yourself, explaining the material out loud, or solving practice problems rather than just rereading your notes.
When taking notes, don't write down everything word-for-word. Focus on the main ideas, important words, and examples, and put them in your own words so you remember them better. While color-coding and using headings can help organize your notes, the most important thing is that you can understand them later, not just that they look nice.
