I would recommend the active retrieval technique to help your friend with studying for the tests that require long essays. This technique involves actively recalling and explaining the concepts without looking at any materials. By continuously practicing retrieving the information, your friend will strengthen their memory and understanding of the material, making it easier to recall and write about during the test. This technique will also help your friend break down the complicated information and terminology into more manageable chunks.
