I've found the self-help stuff on here useful, and I was wondering if anyone could recommend any useful online study skills guides? I'm particularly interested in learning to read/take notes and retain information more effectively. At the moment, I can spend hours reading and take very little in!

You may already have heard of it, but spaced repetition is the solution to the problem of retaining memory-worthy information.

I've found Study Hacks to be particularly helpful.
