- Cut up some fruit/veg and pour yourself a drink of water so that you stay focused and aren't tempted to go and get a snack during study - You can just eat at you desk as its already all there, and it's good brain food and drink!
- Sit down at your desk, with the lights on bright.
- Make sure there are no distractions.
- Take out your notes. Find the problems you are having. Solve them first before the next stage.
- Rewrite your notes out and read them thoroughly once you have got everything down pat. People often find that they learn the best through either visual or audio explanation. If you are visual, than go ahead and draw out your diagrams and read your notes. If you're an audio learner, than instead try listening to a recording of information on your topic (record yourself talking about the subject and listen to it to get it in your head).
- Do not study for more than an hour. Research shows that after this period of time the brain can no longer work to it's full potential, and that any information read or listened to will basically just go in one ear and then out the other! So take a break, and come back later in the day.
- Studying first thing in the morning and last thing before you go to bed are the best options. In the morning you are fresh and alert, and at night the information will stay with you and be remembered as it's right before you go to sleep, and you go to bed thinking about it. Therefore, it's more likely that you will remember it.

In relation to your questions details, as I mentioned before it's best to get all your harder topics and problems over and done with first. Then you rewrite or record you notes which will be fully corrected, and you can referr to these as often as you want.
