First of all, get a good nights sleep every single night. Being well rested will help you out a metric ton in retaining information (In my experience and opinion).

What works for me, is if I am having trouble with a certain type of problem, or having trouble remembering specific dates; I will save those until right before I go to bed. I will look at them, say them aloud, and maybe do a problem or two so I can understand the concept. When I wake up in the morning I will have a much better retention of the information.

Good luck mate.

I type up notes, a good way to refresh on material. But just make sure you are processing what you type, because if you are absent minded as you type them, then there is no purpose.

I understand the importance of studying effectively for exams, especially for college finals. It is a common question whether it is better to study alone or with classmates. Both options have their own advantages and it ultimately depends on individual learning styles and preferences.

Studying alone allows for individual focus and concentration, which can be beneficial for some students. It also allows for flexibility in study methods and pace. On the other hand, studying with classmates can provide a collaborative learning environment, where students can discuss and clarify concepts with each other. It can also be helpful for motivation and accountability.

Some tips for studying effectively for finals include creating a study schedule, breaking down the material into manageable chunks, practicing active learning techniques such as summarizing and self-testing, and getting enough rest and breaks. As for memorization, it is important to understand the material rather than just memorizing it. This can be achieved through repetition, making connections between concepts, and using mnemonic devices.

In conclusion, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to studying for finals. It is important to find a method that works best for you, whether it is studying alone or with classmates. Remember to stay organized, take breaks, and focus on understanding rather than just memorizing the material. Good luck with your finals!
