Use all the free resources available to you from SDN: articles, guides, expert advising, forums discussions, and school research.
Repetition, exposure to actual clinical examples, and the ability to understand the big picture, establishing a basic framework upon where you can add bits and pieces of knowledge you pick up, are how I remember things for a long time.
Also, cramming = less long-term retention. Space your studying time out so you can get multiple exposures to the same material. Sometimes you just need to hit the same material in different ways such as by looking at different sources, drawing stuff out, flashcards, etc.

This. You end up forgetting things (unfortunately), but every time you revisit them it comes back more quickly and you're able to appreciate the details a bit more.
SRS is great for long term retention though.
SRS?
