Those 4 steps you said I actually do know as those I was doing in my high school exams, im not a failure, I actually had quiet good grades in high school. It's just that I wasnt that kind of a person who would sit down infront of books for many hours, I rather used to listen to the lecturer, understand and then when the exams come I write down what I understood, though the questions in high school exams were entirely something else, The longest answer you would write was 5 lines.
We also don't have a forum for the college, neither do we study with tablets, all u have is the book and a sheet u get to write down notes.
There is also no option to fail in a subject lol, I l can't take less than 172 each year, failing a subject means the end of my life.
Going to study something means simply you have to pass the prescribed exams.
The best way is to communicate with other students and lecturers. Ask what is needed to pass a certain exam.
Going to some forums, studying something else will not help you. You just need to learn to do what is asked. That's all.

Don't worry if you have different system and different books. You just have to follow your programme and your courses.
Every system has it's good and bad sides. Students are trained to read a lot and learn a lot. Same as soldiers to do a lot of exercises. It's just a massive brain training, nothing else

Don't worry if the books are old. It's so irrelevant if you train yourself to read let's say min 10 pages in 1 hour and make notes.

Which methods "resonate" with you, depends only on you. You are the one who must see what is required and organize your time to do it. I mean, you have lost and found places, but you can't find your lost time there, only an umbrella or a wallet
So, you must organize your 24 hours in a way you have enough sleep, rest, a some fun too and lots of work.
What helped me, was the idea if I learn 20 pages every day (2 hours min) it means 250 a month including free weekends
But if you skip only 1 or 2 days it's impossible to catch up.
So, if you don't skip your 2 hours training every day, you can go through 2k pages in 8 months (1 academic year), which usually covers all exams.

Good luck
