Re-reading is passive learning and is very ineffective same as highlighting and


summarising

You need to do something called active recall, process of testing yourself

Spaced repetition prevents you from forgetting information and limits the
forgetting curve.

Focus on your weak areas and dont keep on doing revision on your strongest topics,
it may be hard but in the long run its going to help you.

Do a little bit of work everyday so it doesnt pile up.

When doing questions do them as if under exam conditions

Dont stress yourself out, if you do a little a day in the long run you probably
have done more revision than anyone else.
