I'm not doing so great right now. We got tests soon and I'm honestly not sure how I'm going to do.
In undergrad, I studied by reading textbooks. I usually had to only slowly read through the book one time, and then skim it before a test. This method never failed me, because I learn a lot better through understanding the overall concept (textbooks) than learning what seem to be separate pieces of information (notes).
I feel like I don't get very much out of going to class, so if I wanted to read textbooks now, I would have to completely drop classes, and just read textboks (I wouldn't have time for notes anymore either).
So, does anyone have any study advice for people who prefer to read textbooks? I actually thought reading the syllabus would be alright, but I don't seem to be retaining as much information as I thought I would.
