Are you still studying with a notebook and a stack of flashcards? If so, it may be time to update your approach. An About.com article explains:

"A history student writes Wikipedia articles about the culture of Argentina the night before a big exam. A law school student creates a podcast that regularly reviews what he learns in his first-year courses. If you're still studying with hand written notes and 3x5 cards, you're missing out."

Suggested study techniques include: writing Wikipedia entries, using a note sharing website, and distributing a podcast.
