Thanx so do you review your notes and if so how often? Or is it the act of writing it down. Using this method I was thinking of writing a blog.

7 Layer OSI Model

All
People
Seem

Data
Processing

This is a good way to remember things.

What does a L3 switch do? Route, wow so L3 is "Network" layer in the OSI model, etc

Watch videos, read book, watch videos, read book.

Don't forget to practice what you're learning.
Lab it as much as possible; it'll greatly help you remember the commands but will also help you get an idea of what's going on.

If, like me, you can't remember the common OSI layer mnemonics you can try my one:
Please
Do
Not
Try
Smelling
Pirates'
Armpits

Unusual but it works for me.

Every time I studied, I would review my notes instead of reading through the book again. If I missed something on the review question, I would add that material to my notes.
