There are plenty of ways to study. While reading your notes, you can make shorter notes that might include an introduction, body, conclusion, that help give you a better understanding. You can also use post-its (sticky paper) for reminders. Highlighting information is the most used technique and a great one for studying because you can highlight the main points, main characters, and also where things are taking place (who, what, when, where, why, how).

There are different types of learners like a visual learner who likes to see directions written down. They remember what they read. Visual learners study best by taking notes and then reading them over. There’s the auditory learners who remember what they hear.

They learn best by using information they are learning. They may like making a poster, or project.
