Eh, I've found that making a summary while reading it helps a lot in making more sense out of it (as well as making it less boring) and already making a shorter version to use as further reference.
As you can see, I'm not very used to this actually-studying-outside-of-classroom thing.

I don't give much of a **** for biochemistry. Hell, I believe I could make through most of university without studying much more than I did in school. Hell, as far as grades are concerned, so far, I'm doing just fine with minimal study.
I'll turn up a lousy, lousy medic, though, if I keep this up. So I gotta do me some studying.

Amen.
Waw, until I read your second paragraph I was like "What the **** did this guy do in high school to study?". Everyone does that Ambalon.Ambalon said:
I've yet to study my whole life, so far. Everyone else at my school seems so concerned about it and blames their failures on "Omg I didn't study!".
Unrelated, I learned two new British words today that are really weird. Like 'pram' and apparently they pronounce 'garage' like 'gerij'

I barely studies in high school. I remembered most of the stuff from classes (almost always, there was never "outside" material on a test), and only really studied if there was a glut of factoids, such as German vocab or some of the history classes. In college, some tests include material not covered in class (or at least, only a brief overview is given), and other classes are just really hard to pay attention in.
I'm still not used to it too. I barely take notes during class, I prefer to understand the subject from what the teacher is passing onto us. The bad part of that is, I'm in engineering, can't work that way. I really have to adjust and start studying outside of classes since most of the times I need practice.

I have a question, I've been wondering about it today. A lot of the members on here are not American, I'm curious as to you guys learned English? Like is it a norm in some of your countries to know English? Just blatant curiosity.
Pfft, here it isn't a norm to learn our own language. Most people do but they abject in writing it correctly. But without further ado, I learnt by myself, playing rpgs and reading books with a dictionary by my side combined with good guessing sense to decode the grammar layout.
EDIT: I may sound a bit spiteful every time I talk about my country, but it's not undeserved, as sad as that may be.

As Headmaster said, it's not the norm in Brazil. Myself, I learned it through an English school, though some people tend to learn it by themselves with music and video games. The vast majority of people tend to speak **** all english, though, thanks to the mighty poor English classes most schools have.Dante Alighieri said:

In most levels of secondary education in the NL, English (and French and later German) is mandatory. Only levels where this isn't the case (afaIk) are the VMBO-levels. Hell, I've had English since (before!) primary school.
Also, strange night this was. I went to bed a bit ill, did massive amounts of tossing and turning. And one of the girls downstairs had guests over, and they were kinda loud. I know for a fact that the other dude in the building went downstairs to calm them down around two or three. Apparently they also banged doors a bit loudly as I heard said dude shout about that.
and a bit later around six I woke up for a piss, an ibuprofen and a throat-pacifying drink.

When I was in school it was mandatory from fifth grade onwards, these days they start at the age of seven in second grade.
For the last two years of school I took an "advanced" class, but I didn't get all that comfortable with it until a few years ago when I started reading books and watching movies/TV series and playing games in English.
Well, and the internet.
