Your best learning techniques?

I’m asking for your most effective ways of gaining knowledge when studying for exams or deepening your expertise on any topic. For me (I seem to be a visual and auditive learner) it’s easiest to work with flashcards, write the facts down repeatedly, write them onto walls or big pieces of paper that I walk by throughout the day, or tell someone everything I remember from my recently acquired knowledge. And as I am currently beginning to prepare my usual techniques to study for my A-levels, I thought I might look for some more inspiration on Fluther!
