A student passed along this suggestion. It may not work for everyone,
but, if it sounds plausible to you, try it!

"I thought that I would share one of the best ways to study that truly
drilled the information into my head. I took AP Biology my senior year
of high school. I still remember a lot of information that we learned
in this class, so obviously this worked. For every chapter, my teacher
made us make up what she called "portfolio pages". We had to use color
and as many pictures as we could. Since the mind is a very visual
thing, you are far more likely to remember things with colors and
pictures. While I realize that pictures are not always as possible for
a math class, perhaps even just using a few different color pens for
different ideas when copying notes again could be very useful."
