Write down what you memorised, draw pictures, outline the steps, make use of mnemonics. Doing these steps are really helpful for bio, chem, and languages. If you like learning European languages like me, you'll definitely have to make use of mnemonics and get used to writing vocabulary words and grammar rules over and over again.
There's this acronym I memorised for organic chem where you have to memorise the relative priorities of chemical functional groups and it goes CEAA CAKAAT, where each letter represents the first letter of a functional group in decreasing priority. I don't know why that sticks in my head but it just does. There are a bunch of others I've used for chem, German, and English when I first started learning English.
