Reading the textbook before class helps me pay attention to things I missed in the reading, and rereading it after class helps me recall stuff I ignored in my lecture notes. I have never found value in reviewing lectures, and my test scores were pretty good.
These were humanities classes, where I’d pick up some nuance in the lecture/ discussion i had missed. We had textbooks but there was a lot of stuff in the lectures that weren’t in the text.
I used to handwrite and record lectures, and listening to it back, it was amazing how much I had missed while writing stuff down.
I’m still in favor of handwriting because my notes were thoughtful and helpful, it was just eye opening how much more I heard the second time through.
