1. Read before class.

Take a look over the page you're going be teached the next class. This way you'll have an idea of abput what the teacher is talking, you'll feel smart in class and good questions will pop in your mind.

2. Week review.

Every weekend take a look at what've you done over the week. You'll remember things better and get to know what you struggle more with and focus and go deeper on it.

3. Organize notes.

Every day after class spend some time on rewritting and organizing the notes you took in class. Giving a clear structure to your notes will make thing more clear when you are studying and reviewing them.

4. Give a hand.

People will trust your knowledge if you follow these steps, so they'll probably ask you their questions. Don't hesitate to help them thinking you'll waste your time because it's been shown that teaching helps retain information.

5. Go to the library.

The library is designated to be used to study so go there and sdo so. Take nothing but your studying material there and focus only on studying. Eventually you'll tie the library with studying and get concentrate easier there.

6. Divide by categories.

Divide what you have to study in "know" and "don't know". After that, take a look over what you already know and take more time looking over what you don't. 

7. Ask your teachers.

Not just in class, email them too. Nowadays using email as a way to commmunicate isreally easy and asking question to your teacher trough them won't take you any effort. And what's more, you'll build a nice relationship with them wich can hellp you a lot later in the future (get recommendation letters or even a job!), having your proffesors know you is really useful!

I hope you get better grades with these tricks and improve as a student. If you know anybody who struggles studying, share this with him!
