Answer 1

Start reading, get a highlighter pen & mark important bits in the book.  Just keep reading, whether or not you think you understand it.

When you have finished the book, start again, slower, re-reading the highlighted parts you have made.  Also, reading out loud can help you to retain more information.

Get a friend to test you as well...

Good luck!

Answer 5

Split up your days and study each chapter. Read it, write notes, learn the terms then form a small study group where you can have face to face discussions on the subject. Teach someone else the material is probably the best way to learn, understand and remember the material. Do all of this as quickly as possible so that the last week or too you can just review everything. Good luck I hope you pass : )

Answer 6

Short answer:  you need to learn the book.  If you aren't able to learn the book, maybe you need to reconsider your career path.  

Studying is hard.  Lock yourself in a room and test yourself.  Don't go out on weekend.  Demonstrate your commitment.

Answer 7
