Eliminate all distractions

  • Be aware of when you start to daydream - and stop right away

In my psychology class, we learnt that most people recall best in a situation most similar to how they learnt. This means, learning in a situation resembling a test situtation (as you list above) is good. People also recall best in the same emotion/physical state as they learnt.

Funny note: this also means that if you learn your material drunk, you will recall best if you write your test drunk....
