You should take notes down while you read. Then add stuff in from after you've finished and even put some pictures down if you need to. Class notes are always good to use to.Also, this always works for me, make glossary cards. Write down a word on a piece of paper of a card (make the size around 12cm by 8cm, or 5 inches by 3 inches) then write its definition on the back. There easy to carry around and a great way to revise during spare time or before class.
Most importantly, don't try cramming facts and what you've just read. Take it slow,read it, re-read it and sort of memorise it. It's much more affective.

What are the best ways to study college text books?Sometimes they have online summaries (look up your publisher), and there's always spark notes ;) ;)
Speed reading. You skim the chapters and take notes while you read. Then when you are done, you go over the notes and anything you didn't understand look it up on the good old internet and you can go from there.What are the best ways to study college text books?
At the end of the chapters in most books, there is a section that gives an overview of the important points that were covered. I would also look at the headings of the paragraphs/sections to see what key phrases you should be looking for.
I hope this helps, good luck!
Take notes in class. I found once I wrote it down, I never forgot it. Besides, most professors only lecture on the important points, so the stuff they don't intend to quiz you on, they omit. I found as an architecture student, it wasn't all that important to memorize every little thing because I always kept reference books nearby. Maybe it would be different if I was a doctor though.
