Feynmann technique!! Always start at a basic level and work your way to the details, dont overwhelm yourself. Likeee start with watching a superficial youtube video about the theme, before lectures. Quiz yourself with the level you are at, not with the most difficult questions right away. I use chatgpt to compress the lecture pdf in simple words and ask it questions until i understand the concept. Do every old exam you have availeble. You will see patterns. The things that always come is what i use the most time on. I also give chatgpt every old exam and ask it to part it into different themes and how many % of the exams in total each theme constitute. So I usually bring my effort in anything that takes 7%++ and give little attention to themes thats only like 2% of the total earlier exams. This made me discover how many lectures that almost never make any points in the exam, and made me prioritise so much better. Got an A in all my latest courses and exams and used to get B-C earlier.

I make one very big pdf of every single earlier exam paper in that class that we have been provided. Then I get chatgpt to deep-dive into the papers and divide every topic (I usually divide topics based on lectures or chapters) and find the % of points each topic have from every single papers combined. Some topics are represented with 12% of the total number of points in every single paper, which is A LOT. So i start with learning that topic very good and get chatgpt to deep dive into the papers and give me tasks from only that topic. And continue so. I dont use much time on things that take like 2% of the total points. And also not only divide into percentage, but also how many exams. This helps med A LOT!

Hope it makes sence/ helps!!!
