Use Groups! : 

Use Groups! Get into groups because you can see different examples and it is a great way to study. Create a game where you have teams and take turns trying problems and add up the number of the correct answers and the team with the most points wins!

Slide 22: 

Study the flash cards for about 15 minutes and then take a break. After about an hour break study for another 15 minutes. Mix the cards up before you repeat. (repeat about 4 times) The next day repeat the steps above only 3 times The next day 2 times The next day 1 time Don't Overdo It!
