For persons who have NLD and are in the sciences, what methods worked best for you in terms of studying?

For studying I take my own notes and copy them if the professor has them in Power Point mode. I find that I retain the information better that way.

Could you clarify what is meant by "if the professor has them in powerpoint mode"? What I am interpreting you saying is that writing everything down helps. What about visual diagrams?

Sorry...I meant PowerPoint slides. For me personally, writing everything down does help with retaining the information better. I don't do well with visual diagrams and I try to rearrange the information from them by putting it into a list.
