Treat each chapter as a book in itself. Draw mind maps while activating that chapter. Set yourself a timer and spend about 20 minutes on a chapter to see what you can learn. If the textbook has questions use the questions. Answer them. If you cannot answer them then you know what you should be activating for.

PhotoRead the whole textbook a few times between now and the exam. For learning language, play with the language. Draw pictures to associate with the words. Use post it notes or similar and place them on the objects in the language you are learning. Say the word often. Find a way to use the language as much as you can.
