im not the best at studying either but i have done a few things to help me alot.
this also depends on what kind of class ur taking but this is what i do for one class where i have to study alot.

in this class, there is reading from a book and slides with info.
one thing i do is handwrite notes from the slides first and section it off well. i use highlighter to highlight big words or important information i think will be on the exam.
then, i get main points from textbook.
then, i get any vocabulary terms i may need and write the ones i do not know or may forget

after all the pages of handwritten notes, I grab ONE sheet of paper and rewrite all the main points from my own notes. so im basically summarizing my own notes on just one page.
i write it very tiny and cram it all together. and just write until i think i have all the important notes. i usually take up the entire page and maybe the back but avoid the back side the most you can.
then after i literally read the whole page over and over until i know it all.

so its basically notes all compressed in tiny handwriting so its all on one page.

for essays, i just make a sample essay and just write everything important but just in horrible flow and improper sentences. and then i combine the information into better and longer sentences.

Hi! Maybe this will help you; I used it in my own studies.
Try to identify the key points in each topic, like giving a title to each section, and write them down on a piece of paper. When you're ready, try to pretend you're explaining the whole thing to a friend, looking only at the titles of your key points. This way you'll quickly understand your knowledge gaps and know what to focus on better. + by explaining it you solidify the material in your mind more easily, and it's not as monotonous as just reading
