Methods of remembering things?

Question

I am doing an exam on the 9th June, I have to do a report on 150 words based on discrimation, sterotypes and prejuice, And in the exam I've to expand the 150 report into an essay of 500 words. Any tips on remembering the things?

Answer 1

Cheat, write it on a piece of paper.

Answer 2

Try writing down a few important points that will help you remember

Answer 3

What I do for remembering or memorizing is first understanding it. When I finally understand it, it'll stick to my mind for a really long time. You just can't repeat it to yourself over and over-you will forget it. Understand it first. Your brain will expand and welcome much more ideas to the thing you re memorizing once you did understand it.

My teacher's tip for memorizing is keywords. But I don't exactly do that.

You can also do some 'picturing' in your mind. Ahh, although the imaginative types of people is suited in this sort of method.

Also, if you forget, do some alibi. Although make sure it is related to your topic. Good luck!

Answer 4

Write the words and definitions on index cards (on opposite sides of one). Quiz yourself until you know them all.

Answer 5

write the info over and over and over and eventually you'll get it...

Answer 6

just keep writing 10-15 times in the paper,

as u know 1 time write is equivalent to 5 times read

Answer 7

Fist of all you need to make sure when you're revising , don't just read through it, wirte it down, copy it, write your own version, what ever helps you, also try to mak like a spider diagrm thing and turn all the essay stuff into a few key words, then in the exam you should be able to recall all the info from the keywords that you memorised.

Answer 8

Do your studying while listening to music that you can hum in your head. Don't play the same song over and over. Play as many different songs as you can while studying. Then, when exam day comes along, sing the songs to yourself and the answers you were studying at the time the music was playing should be more easily retrieveable. What would be even better is if you were allowed to listen to the music while you were taking your exam, say on an mp3 player, but that would be impractical from the teacher's side. Who's to say that you're not listening to pre-recorded answers...?!

Answer 9

All the answers  you have had so far are correct. I do not understand how it works, but writing something down assists with remembering. At school I thought copying down stuff was a boring waste of time. I was wrong. Nowadays, I make little notes, and it helps. Also, I bought a small voice recorder, talk into it about matters I need to remember, this works but not so well as writing stuff down.
