When reviewing for a test, it is important to identify the main ideas of the topics covered throughout the class, and try to understand them in depth in order to be able to problematize them or apply them in practical or theoretical scenarios that the test may present. This is a better strategy than trying to merely memorize information because this latter technique is not necessarily impregnated with meaning. If you understand an idea, it is very likely that important details will be memorized automatically.
