Answer 2

Try starting with what you already know and filling in the blanks. If you paid any attention in class, you should already have some idea of what happened. So, start telling yourself the story of the history of the US civil war, colonialism in Africa, or whatever it is that you are studying. Every time you get to a place where you are unclear, look it up, repeat it several times to yourself and continue recounting the events. When you finish, start over and hopefully you will have much less to look up. Continue until you feel that the details that you still don't know by heart aren't as important as the thousand other things you have to do.

Answer 3

HISTORY did it, so why not you?
Write a timeline of what happened (in outline form first, then with details) in 1492, 1493, 1494 ... 1968, 1969....
then memorize it like a play script.

Answer 4

One of the best ways to learn something, is to teach it to someone. I read my sister the history stories I'm suppost to do for school, then i ask HER the questions. Like I'm the teacher. I can honestly say, it can really help remeber something, even its your most hated subject. And you can help another mind also :)

Answer 5

if you want to study it fast, use the old POD trick, read the first and last sentance of every paragraph and try to remember dates off of flash cards, that's the best way to Super Cram, if you don't have time to actually study.
