Record lectures, and listen to them repeatedly. Lay out your notes along with your textbook, and review them while reviewing your sound recording. Fill in any missing details. Pause the sound and read more thoroughly anything that seems unclear, then go back over it. Make note cards to carry with you. Write down any questions you have and ask your professor as soon as you identify areas of uncertainty; if one professor’s answer still leaves you unclear, ask another. Don’t save the questions for the morning before the test.
