You are more likely to remember the lectures and the readings. Choose to take classes with interesting lecturers, who help interest and motivate you. It's much easier to study a little bit every day than trying to get all of your studying done in one 10-hour study session each week. You may find that you have more free time to do other things without feeling guilty about a big pile of work waiting for you at home. Know your Strengths and Weaknesses in Testing Types.
