Studying for exams, ways to memorize things...?

Question

i have a whole bunch of stuff I want to memorize for my end of year exams. does anyone have any good study tips or ways of memorizing some things???

thank you

Answer 1

It is scientifically proven that if you take small breaks in between study time you are more effective at learning.

As for just studying without breaks, you will only remember 15 minutes of the beginning and 15 minutes of the end of what you studied.

Answer 2

you could write little notes on pieces of card and just keep reading it until it goes in your head

Answer 3

for memorizing:

repeat the first part to yourself 3 times over without looking. while covering up the next lines. then uncover the next line and repeat both without looking until you got it down. repeat. if you mess up you must start over. no cheating, or it wont work.

or if one of your friends has some ADHD pills @_@........but seriously you shouldnt....

Answer 4

if your good at remebering songs then rurn your notes into songs.

it works.

Answer 5

While I was in college if I had a major exam I needed to study for, I would record my notes on a tape player. I know it seems weird. After I finish studying for the end of the night I would connect ear phones to the tape recorder and listen to the notes as I fell asleep. If you have a recorder that you can set to repeat, leave it playing all night. Although you are sleep your mind is still absorbing the information.

Answer 6

Apparently you remember things more if you read it in your head and out loud at the same time to embed it into two parts of your brain at once.  If you sleep (even nap) after studying it helps as well.

Answer 7

mnonics ... take the first letter of each word and make a new word on saying that will help you remember important things

Answer 8

haha I have to study for exams too!

I think a good idea is to repeat something to yourself a few times, and then trying to rewrite it without looking at your notes. Keep doing this a couple of times. The human brain takes an average of seven times to remember things.

Try not to memorise irrelevant stuff. To make things easier, you could write all the info in the form of an essay. Memorise the essay, and you would have all the information stored already,
