Last semester, we discussed the importance of studying by writing out hypotheticals. That process of organizing and synthesizing material is what helps you remember the material, and is more beneficial than just reading over your notes and outlines.
This study approach was discussed in a recent New York Times article, and is worth reading and incorporating into your study habits.
