How do you guys study to retain information? I’m on my last college course (it’s an Algebra course that unfortunately didn’t cross over in my pre-requisite courses) and I have taken the test 3 times. I take my 4th attempt on Tuesday, and although I feel more confident and that I’ve improved how I study, I’m curious what other ways you guys utilize. I’m a very visual and tactile person so I have all of my study material typed and printed out. In the past, I have used flashcards, which were not the best mode of study for me, and I have also tried to teach back method, however, because I am not 100% confident yet in the course content, I do not want to do this currently. I also have dyscalculia, so it makes any information with numbers extremely difficult. I had a course in the past that I also struggled with, and my course instructor helped me memorize the content (as basic as this was) by reading it and writing it out word for word. I know, like I said that this is very basic, but my brain tends to omit words, letters, and numbers… So I will be reading a sentence and I will not see a word, so this is why she had me write it out to ensure that I was understanding the entire sentence. Additionally, when nervous, I blank completely and start to panic because I can’t remember even basic things. Once I calm down, it returns, but I don’t have the luxury to waste time. I would love to hear what you guys do! Thanks!

FYI my school is online if that helps.
