When I go through the sections on IC, I take notes. Writing things down in order, often later organizing them so a group is all together (like the part of the brain or key people in sociology) really helps me review it better. Usually, I go through a section, taking notes where I can, reading the explanation, then I go through it again, hoping this time to get more right, using my notes if I need to to fill in the blanks. From there, I move on to another section. Do the same process, then go back and review the first and the second. and so on. Til I get them all right (or almost) and I keep going. It usually takes me like 3 times before I get most of the blanks correct. Sometimes it takes forever to get through the sections, sometimes it just clicks. That's usually when I know if it's going to require less study or more intensive study. But makes sure you always read the explanations. Knowing the blanks and the phrase helps me focus in on that key point, but then learning any extra points built on that one really helps in the test. Anyways, that's how I do it. I'm sure others have different ways, probably some even better ways. It's good to find how you do it best, and then just go at it. Good luck in your studies!
