Maybe slightly outdated but framing unknowns as questions, thinking about it awhile, and then looking it up is still a good habit to have, maybe better than looking stuff up immediately and then forgetting it right away since the 'significance' is gone. I went up a whole letter grade on exams while studying about the same number of hours by doing something similar. The "split notebook" question method. The best part is that you already know what you don't know, so you study that instead of rehashing material you could have otherwise ignored. It saves time and you won't go into an exam feeling overconfident despite being (in reality) completely unprepared.Edit: Very good thread.</blockquote>
