    After the 1st year I can say that also your attitude towards the books and all the materials matter. If you're saying "Eh,I have to study this material so to pass the exams" it will be hard for you to learn it because it seems that you don't do it because you enjoy it but for passing some exams. You have to be excited that you have the source for finding the answers for your questions. And like this studying becomes something entertaining,not stressing. P.S. Wish you lots of luck for the last year!
