Yes visualize yourself as you go through the degree from entering the lodge all the way to the end. Attend a fellow craft lodge a few times so you can visually see what is going on. Sit on the front row so you can hear what is being said. Go to as many as your time will allow.
Then when you study one on one with your instructor, close your eyes as you go through both the questions and answers and transport yourself through the degree through your minds eye.
Make an effort to learn both the question and answer so you can be prepared for the next question.
I hope this helps!
