I cant study for tests because i forget it the next day?

Question

i dont remember enough to pass the test. if i read the whole article i will only remember parts but now what i need to know. my brain sorta picks out what it wants to remember. im always the last to finish a test and im not making this some excuse because i have tried everything even studying before bed and waking up and studying then going back to sleep and before the test some more. any help?

Answer 1

they say  that some people absorb information best by hearing it, others by seeing it and others by writing it.  they also say that its a good idea to read the info, write it and listen to it.  if you can do that it might work for you.  good luck, i had/have the same problem!

Answer 2

well get a lot of sleep and wake up early ,get nice breakfast, and study just rite b4 u go n to take the test and of corse study at nite too. i hoped i helped. Use flashcards they help a tone.

Answer 3

Condense into short notes and read them repeatedly.

Answer 4

It sounds like .... if you were used to cramming before, its no longer working.  You could also be experiencing burn-out.

Are you getting enough sleep ?  Maybe you are sleep deprived and can't concentrate/retain information ?

You may need to stop the cramming, study ahead of time, then, the night before, you can just skim through some key points.

  

Answer 5

Repitition helps me to remember things. Keep reading and memorizing the same things over and over again.

Study only when you feel relaxed.

Answer 6

hey there, i can help you cuz that happens with alot of people and i was one of them.

the medical way is you should eat almonds, cashewnuts, and other dryfruits cuz they make your brain and memory sharp.

now the practical way:

everytime you wanna learn something, write down main lines on a sheet of paper. once something goes through your pen, its hard to forget.

when this happened to me, what i used to do is, i would record my voice with the song i liked  and main hints or lines of my notes and put them on my ipod and listen to it. (i know it sounds nerdy and book warmish, but really helps)

this makes study fun and you don't have to remember all your notes. all you need to remember is some main lines and hints that are related with paragraphs and sentences.

hope it works for you cuz it really did for me nad goodluck for your tests!!!!!!
