Don't forget flash cards. Get a packet of index cards and make your own notes on them (writing things down in your own words help 'fix' the data in your mind). Use as many aides memoir as you can. During my courses we competed to see who could come up with the most outrageous mnemonic, rhyming slang or whatever just so long as it made us remember. To this day capacitance/farads brings back some ludicrous rhyme about cabs to Harrods.
I devised a colour code system. Cards on engine/systems were red, meteorology was green, air law blue etc. Carry a bundle of these around in your pocket and you can gain an hour or more study time on the bus, in a queue, at traffic lights, in the bath, eating breakfast.......
