Study Tips for an oldie?

Question

What is the best method to study and retain info for an upcoming promotional exam? Been out of the mix 20 yrs.?

Answer 1

The easiest way to learn is repetition.

Find the most important points you need to remember, then start memorizing them.

The best thing to do is make it fun for yourself. Make up inside jokes about what you are learning, and you will retain it longer.

The number one thing to remember is that you need to get enough sleep every night. When we sleep, our brains process information, so sleep will help you remember.

Answer 2

Mnemonics are useful. That's where you use songs and poems to help remember ideas or spellings.

eg:- Arithmetic

A

Red

Indian

Thought

He

Might

Eat

Toast

In

Church

I found them useful for studying biology which was a weak area for me.
