I have heard that if you go over your notes after you take them (i.e. after class or at the end of the day) it helps with memorization/familiarization. Even more effective would be to rewrite/type your notes at the end of the day or week. I knew a guy who did this back in the dorms and he kicked ass in his classes.
One of my strategies for test taking is to first make sure I have all notes/handouts and organize them somehow, usually chronologically. Then I read through all the notes to familiarize myself with them. Then I rewrite my notes, writing down big topics and putting everything together. If the material can be memorized, notecards are best strategy, learning 5-10 at a time then adding to what you know each time.
I have a 3.65 right now as a senior bio student, so these strategies seem to be somewhat successful.
