Hi read_it_soak_it (I don't believe this is your real name),

as we all agree Physics and Maths is about understanding rather than learning / memorising. I would suggest that you read/scan some exam questions on a particular physics topic, then photo read the relevent study material, then sleep on it, then re-read the exam questions, then scan the study material that you photo read previously and you will find that you understand much more than you thought. Not only will your subconscious learn the material it will figure out how to apply it to the particular exam questions.

Good luck,

Mark.
