After you’ve studied your material for an exam, brain dump everything you can remember from what you studied. Write it all out on a sheet (or more) of paper. Then, go back over the notes/study materials you made before and add the info you missed into your brain dump sheets in red pen. Then, after you’re done, flashcard all the info in red. Go through those flashcards every day. This is the way to prevent overstudying things you already know and understudying the things you don’t fully know/understand.

for future reference
for those who want to keep up a habit or just enjoy learning
a new language
a style of literature less commonly studies (e.g. fantasy, science fiction - I took a sci-fi course this semester and it was so fun)
practice an instrument or learn some music theory
take some skillshare courses!
start / join a book club. this isn't really studying but imo most English courses are just really expensive book clubs
learn to read tarot / study other spirituality. I want to get better at astrology
study your local history! your library probably has a bunch of stuff on it
pick up a new hobby or craft and learn the history of it
study the plants in your local forest, aim to create a mini foraging guide
design a heavy programming project for yourself, challenge yourself to learn how to do it before the fall term starts
teach yourself some psychology! there's a LOT about it out there
do a bible study if that's something that suits you
the 1980s UK punk scene. I just took a course on this it's great
really any pop culture era
the Salem witch trials. there's a lot to learn there
if you're up to it, learn the history of some local indigenous / aboriginal groups if you happen to be on colonized land. learn what you can do as an ally (I actually have a reading list for those of you getting in to indigenous American allyship, and you can always reach out to me for a starting point)
literally take out a textbook from a library or get a used textbook off a friend and read through it, annotate it if you can, study the material. It's fun to learn without deadlines looming.
work on your handwriting
