My method varies, depending on the course.
For a mathematical course i.e. Statistics or Accounting, all I have to do is work a few problems and I'll normally have it figured out. If not, I keep doing them until I get them right.
For humanities courses i.e. Economics or Psychology, I have to read the entire chapter and take notes as I do it. For my last test, I ended up with about fifteen pages, front and back, of notes. I cannot just depend upon the class lecture notes. I need both. When I'm finished, I just open up my notebook and read all of my notes or any other pertinent material as many times as I can.
