Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Retention is generally increased when you process information in more than one way. The best ways I've found are when reading something to either write some organized notes or to quietly read to myself out loud and say everything.
Your brain processes it once when reading, and again when writing or speaking. Doing all three can help even more.
Also, study for about twenty minutes, no more than twenty five, and take a five to ten minute break. The brain doesn't retain things past twenty minutes, it gets into a rut where you can read it but don't store anything. You give it something else to focus on for a short time (maybe something fun) and then go back to studying.
Give yourself enough time to cover the material and make sure you get a solid 8 hours every night. Breakfast in the morning to get you going, avoid caffiene (as the crash can be devastating to concentration) and don't freak out too much.
