Set a Time. Look through your schedule and figure out what time slots you can set aside. Even if its only just 30 minutes a day, a little is better than none.

Flashcards. Flashcards are a fun and convenient way to study for exams, you can basically take them anywhere with you.

Create an Outline. Making an outline allows you to reread material covered in class while using muscle memory to write or type the material. This is a great option for classes that give you a final exam study guide.
