There’s no one-size-fits-all study method that serves perfectly for everybody. While some people retain information best from reading notes aloud, others retain information better with the help of highlighters or flashcards.

Get creative and try a variety of methods until you find a strategy that best meets your individual studying needs. However, don’t be shocked if a particular process doesn’t produce the same results for every class. A unique plan may prove to be more productive for one class compared to others, so don’t be too intimidated to change things around when a previous studying process seems to produce weak results.

Find what method works for finals, and don't assume that what worked for one person will work for everyone.
