hi seems - i have been studying for awhile - and i often wondered the same thing - so many people seem to be ale to regurgitate all this information!!! it has been very frustrating for me as well - and i don't have a fool-proof plan - but i have found that it begins with reading the material out loud to yourself (or in a quiet whisper - if your like me and think others will think you're schizophrenic....). if you read out loud, you have to take the time to hear the material - then you close or cover the material - and repeat it again - as though you were teaching the concept to someone else (I find teaching is the best way to confirm what you have learned yourself).

then, at the close of your study of that subject, you do questions pertaining only to that material...but we all do that to some extent. but the absolutely imperitive thing is that within a couple days - quickly revisit the stuff - it may seem like a lot, cause you're studying soooo much material in other subjects - but you need a break from the current subject once in awhile - take that opportunity to revisit old material real fast in FA - cover up old subject matter and again recite it as tho you're teaching someone else. and perhaps hit a few more questions.

review is key. when you get a hang of it - you'll see that there are some things that come easily - and there will be things that you'll always forget for some reason...spend a little extra time in those areas.

it took me far too long to figure out that this was the best way for me - and maybe it will work for you or others. but not to worry - you'll be fine if you can dedicate yourself and not stress out. if you spend too much time worrying about what you don't know, you won't get a chance to think about what you do know!!! eventually, when you do mixed questions in all subjects - you'll really see the difference!

Good Luck!
