In order to teach a concept to someone, you usually need a good grasp on the concept and material, and it will help you remember it if you go through in it and help someone else learn it.
Absolutely. Ask a classmate to study with you. First divide the material you want to learn. Then study the material assigned to you on your own. After a while, get back together with your friend and teach what you just learned to him/her. If something is unclear, discuss it. At the end have the 'student' explain it back to the 'teacher.'

When I was studying for my quals, the other students in my class and I sometimes did this sort of thing. We all passed.
