Start on memory items and limitations as soon as you get your a/c assignment. Learn your profiles to the point you can recite them forward/backwards and start in the middle.
When practicing callouts and flows, add a second activity to the drill. You fly the same way. Balance a marble in the center of a glass plate while walking around the room while making calls. Get a deck of cards and play solitare while reciting calls and flows. Anything to engage your mind with two tasks at once.
Seriously? I'm all for group study, but it usually consists of trying to call out memory items while balancing empty beer bottles on my head, while my sim partner chugs Jack Daniel's and tries to remember the name of the stripper he accidentally gave his home phone number to at Rick's Cabaret the night before! 6 long terms....zero failures!
