Study the chapter, not your notes. Read out loud, slowly. This involves the parts of the brain that control speech and hearing. The more different parts of the brain you involve in studying, the better the information will be learned. Break the hard words into syllables and practice pronouncing them correctly.
Language is an integral part of human reasoning.
Pronounce the word out loud each time you write it. Read out loud in a lecturing tone of voice, and expand ad lib on what you are reading. Listen to yourself critically as you do this, to be sure you use technical vocabulary, speak in complete sentences, and include all the necessary steps in the logic. Read into a tape recorder, and play the tape back and listen to it. After organizing the vocabulary and factual material, drill yourself until recall is accurate, consistent and automatic.
