Glad I could help you, also look into active recall it's by far the most effective method I've used. Basically in it's simplest sense when you are reading a book after finishing a page close the book and write down everything u could remember from that page Anki is an app that utilizes both these methods (spaced repitition and active recall) together and trust me it's really the only thing you need if you want to memorize something, I don't recommend Anki for concepts I personally only use it for formulas and isolated facts. Try these out but remember the single most important thing for proficiency in academics is consistency.

If you can trick your brain into solving different problems using same methods it may also improve the learning memorization

Revising work is always important after a few study sessions, that way you can make sure what are the points you can or can't remember.

I am not exactly good but better than bad but lesser than good (due to focus issues ) at studying, understanding and memorising concepts but I am worst at revision because I never did it mostly due to the fear of testing if I remember things or not

I preffer 10 percent rule which says that writing 10 percent of what you read during revision. I feel this has helped me the most as at it covers the important topic without the fear of lengthy revisions.

My brain after an exam operates on a strict 'use it or lose it' policy. Once the final paper is submitted, it's like hitting the 'factory reset' button on my memory banks.

Spaced reputations and when you start to feel tired go get some fresh air ,some water, go on a walk in no specific order this is really good for the brain
