The study schedule that I was taught is to work in half-hour sections. Review for 5 min, study for 20, take a 5 min break. Start the next block with a review of the previous.
After the first day, review on a schedule. For instance the following day, several days later, a week later, a month later. Each day for your review look back in your notes the appropriate time.
When I was a student I was never that organized. Instead I would sit down and try to think through sketches of everything that I was supposed to have learned. Just pretend that I'm teaching it, and start sketching out my knowledge. Wherever I ran into trouble remembering details, that was generally a spot that I needed to review and I'd look it up in the text.
This is unorganized, but I'd walk into follow-up courses a year or two later and still know the previous course cold. So it worked for me.
You could also do it by just redoing parts of previous homework assignments. But that feels to me like a lot more work (unless the professor assists).
