whats the best way to remember things for exams?

Answer 1

study

Answer 2

When making revision notes used different coloured pens for different topics -also use a certain type of back round music, these will help you trigger more parts of your brain, auditory and visual memory keys. Another way is to use a Dictaphone and read your notes into it and play it back at a later time. Your body needs the right fuel too, plenty of water and oily fish and lots of rest. Between each revision sitting have at least 15 minutes break to walk around and clear you head! Hope this helps!

Answer 3

Different things work for different people, but for me personally I record all of my notes onto my MP3 player at the beginning of the course and listen to it while I am at work during the day. It's a great way of drumming in things that you can easily forget, I study law and remembering the case dates and statutes is a real grind!! Most people who try this say it's great the big downside is you have to sit and talk to yourself for hours on end.

Answer 4

This may sound strange, but the brain associates things with smells, so some people will use scented markers to write things when studying for a test. Also, when studying certain parts, use different colors of ink/paper. This will help you visualize the information when you take the test.

Answer 5

I always used acronyms and they helped me no-end.
This is when you make up a sentence from the initials of what you are trying to remember. For example:
Stuart Clarke wrote and article named "Inversion, Misrule and the Meaning of Witchcraft". I remember this because I made up the following sentence:

*Some (- Stuart)
*Children (- Clarke)
*Imply (- Inversion)
*Mums (- Misrule)
*Might (- Meaning)
*Wobble (- Witchcraft)

When you go into the exam, write down your sentence straight away so that you don't panic and forget it. The sillier it is, the better, as you will find it easier to remember.

Good Luck!!!

Answer 6

study, and get a good night's sleep. actually, a better word is revise. study emples re-learning everything. all you really have to do is look over the important parts. Never revise when tired or hungry because it means you are going to be distracted by your hunger pains or tiredness. It is also important to relax, and not be nervous about the exam, because you will forget the things you know.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Answer 7

Usually the things that are interesting to you, you will already remember. Then I try to associate something to answers that I cannot remember. (If the answer is 2, I may think toodle-oo), then for things I can't seem to associate anything that I can remember, just go over it again and again. Good luck.

Answer 8

Study helps but it can also help to create a non-word or phrase that contains key letters that are the first letters of the answer you need to remember.

Answer 9

study in short bursts. research shows that studying for smaller amounts at a time will help with recall. also, try to make associations between the question and answer. maybe make up rhymes or songs. i know this sounds silly, but it has worked for me in the past on several occasions.

Answer 10

regularly review summary notes. Mindmaps are great. If it's maths or science make sure you do past questions rather than just reading notes. Use coloured pens for key words imn summary notes. Make bullet point lists.

Answer 11

study and make up songs for the ones you just can't seem to remember if your life depended on it. write it over and over. and say the things over and over. those are some of the things I did.
