Oh well done!!! I admire anyone who can study around work - must be tough! Can't help with revision tips though as I haven't done an exam in years... I always remember parts of the body though after an injury or illness so maybe reading up about these will help put them into context and make them easier to remember?
Definitely opt for notes or diagrams around the bathroom mirror or kitchen window. Somewhere you will spend 10-25 mins but doing something else. You just absorb the info while doing the washing up / lounging in the tub.
And do short chunks with an aim in mind. In thie half hour I will learn the basics of X. Then go deeper into it at the next session

When Im studying I re-write everyhting i need to know into my own notes, make it look pretty and use pictures, itll make you want to read it and find it more interesting. and anything thats important or you forget highlight it or write it BIG with BIG colour Just re read everything until it sticks... Im studying for my BSc equine science and management atm, so know the feeling about learning all the musculoskeletal system and the mares oetrous cycle!!
Agree with what Esstaana says about writing stuff down. Also, if you have someone to help you, try explaining something to them as though you are giving a lecture/lesson (with horse if necessary to point out where things are). You may be surprised at how much you know!
Beeing a student for many years get a load of post it notes write all the facts on them and stick them everywhere!!! In the bathroom!! Everywhere!!! U culd also try getting small white boards and write your facts on then rub them out and re write them. U soon get them in your head! Good luck!
