Take advantage of the test banks. Find someone older than you who has already taken the class and get their advice.

Hand write notes while studying. Some people write sub areas of study - one idea per note card.
For me writing by hand makes it much easier to recall because I am very visual. I draw and write at the same time and can pull those ideas from deep in my brain at a later date

If you are a natural doodler and you can push yourself to draw quickly this is very helpful. I've learned to draw very fast. It doesn't have to be good. Just enough so you know what it means.

I don't study or read, and I have a 3.7 gpa. I go to all of my classes though. Biology major.

cheat

Some girls were trying to sell adderall and vyvance in their sorority group mes and they messages were screenshotted and given to UAPD and Made it to west alabama narcotics. All the girls got snams and I could be wrong but I am pretty sure some of them were charged or had to go to court. The point is that you shouldnt post anything in a group me that you wouldnt put like on facebook. I also know in my biology class someone posted test answers in a big group me and like 10 people got in big trouble for academic misconduct because someone took the screen shots in.
