I find it VERY helpful to go through the material I need to learn and write down notes of all the important information. You need to make sure you understand what you are writing down or it won't do much for you. One of my professors said that writing something down is the equivilant of reading it 15 times. THat number seems a bit high, but even if it's only 3 times, how can you go wrong?
After I take notes on everything, I can just read over it once or twice and I know it.
