For me, I try to remember a key word for each topic and arrange it into a pneumonic device that will trigger the main ideas- for example OIL RIG- Oxidation It Loses (electrons), Reduction It Gains (electrons). I also rely on highlighting the main parts of information, just 1 or 2 key words that will help to trigger the main idea. You just have to be careful not to overdo the highlighting because it defeats the purpose otherwise. After rewriting information, I sometimes try to mentally picture where the information is located on my page. Sometimes just remembering its location will help me remember what was discussed. This seems to work best for me when I need to answer discussion questions and need to cover specific topics.

And, i think a quiz should be the most effective one. Apart from making a paper-based quiz, it is more interesting to make a flash quiz with quiz maker software like Quiz Creator, Quiz Maker, etc. It's so cool. yes, the tips seem useful. we can have a try.
