memorizing?

Answer 1

Klo-Mann:
Memorizing is not a problem.
I used to clear my mind before I memorize anything.
An essay (not by us, it's from an old textbook) suggested connecting the words to daily life.
A case in point: The vocabulary contains "dairy" "Coca-Cola" "hand" "writer" (not in order!)
We can make up a sentence, "A writer's hand is scribbling on a diary while he drinks Coca-Cola."
Klo-Jann:
Tables and flowcharts work too but I would really rather prefer using the applying method in another way:
In physics, it is required to apply the "laws" to situations:
Here are two tubs, one painted white and the other black. There is an equal amount of sand in both. Put on a table in a summer midday, which will get hot first?
The black one will get hot first because black absorbs heat while white reflects it.

Answer 2

Before you memorize anything, you need to sit down and spent some time reading the topic and understanding it. This is because while you may be good at memorising, you do not understand why does some particular thing happen and you may need to memorise everything again. (I used to get a C6 for my biology but after spenting more time on it, I improve my grade to a B3 and, recently, I got a A1 during common test!)

Sometimes, you can make use of tables to tabulate differences between 2 things eg. wind pollinated flower VS insect pollinated flowers. This allows you to see things clearly and very handy during exams.

if u r talking abt organic chemistry,i'd say read the whole text clearly once,then try closing the book and writing down whatever u've remembered.....do it for as many times as u can till u r atleast close to perfect.repeat the same thing the very next day or a day later and then exactly 1 week later....u'll never forget what u've learnt trust me.i did that and i ruled at my college...
if its biologyy,try to imagine whatever u r trying to memorize,a picture is seriously worth a 100 words......
if its classifications in any subject,make up tables everytime u study that part.for a quick brush up before an exam,just go through them.but when u've got ages sit an exam.,make sure u draw up tables EVERYTIME...
if its anything by Shakespeare or any work of literature,first read the summary of the original work,go on to character sketches and THEN sit down to do the real thing...

hope this helps...
