I have 3 BIG tests tommorrow, and I know they are all gonna be hard.

I have a Math Proficiency test, in which there is 25 problems, a science test on a unit that I don't even get about light and photons that has 63 questions and all NOT multiple choice, and a essay in class about the book Inherit the Wind, and that has to be 5 paragraphs.

But, I'm not very good at memorizing stuff and studying, so anybody have any methods for studying that could help me memorize some stuff?

Do not cram it all into one night to study. Start studying days before the test.

im no genius but i have a some pretty good tips that help me for studying ( take in the fact that im only in grade 10 though and have little experience with 3 big tests in one day). first, dont listen to music. second, take little breaks to breath, relax and then listen to some music. third study the stuff you dont know cause whats the point of memorizing something that you already know. and fourth (which wont help you that much, maybe in the future) study 30 minutes each day on each subject and in 3 days you'll have a good chance on passing with a good grade. i hope this helps.

To be quite honest, and I'm sure you already knew this, but you probably aren't going to do very well by waiting until the last minute to learn the material. At this point, its going to be nearly impossible to memorize all the information that you need to know.

I'd say your best bet would be to get together with someone who understands the material and discuss it with them.

Mnemonics.

INTRODUCTION

Mnemonics (pronounced "ne-mon'-ics") is the art of assisting the memory by using a system of artificial aids - rhymes, rules, phrases, diagrams, acronyms and other devices - all to help in the recall of names, dates, facts and figures.

Basic mnemonics

These mnemonics can be applied immediately, although it certainly pays off to practice them first. All of these mnemonics are based on elaboration and association, which why we start out with these. Elaboration adds more meaning to a word, while association makes sure that two words are thoroughly linked together in memory.

Copy all your notes onto one 8.5x11 sheet of paper. It helps you jog your memory and see the big picture, as well has helping you memorize the material.

I would take adderall. Seriously, if you want to concentrate, yeah, sometimes medication is essential. I took it in HS and that was the only way I was able to make it through.
