You May Get

You’re an auditory learner

Use a dictaphone to record lessons or study sessions so that you can listen back whenever you have some free time, on the bus or when you’re walking the dog. If you have some friends that are also auditory learners, organise some group discussions together. When learning equations or strict methods it may also be helpful to say them out loud to yourself and set them to a rhyme, rhythm or music.

You’re a kinaesthetic learner

It’s likely you’ve already taken lots of detailed notes but copying them out over and over again, neatly and on fresh paper, will really help you remember them. Alternate between sitting still at a desk and walking around the room when learning to keep your mind stimulated. If you have access to online quizzes or videos relating to specific topics use those to prompt your memory too.
