“Studying in short bursts definitely helps - 10 min study sessions over a few days really help improve the likelihood of information sticking. And as simple and obvious as it may seem, DO YOUR HOMEWORK; a lot of teachers like to use some of those questions on tests. Lastly, don't be afraid to go to office hours, it gives the teacher an insight as to how students perceive the information and lets the teacher get to know you (which is good for recommendations.)”
