Many ways:-1) Understand the concept to be learnt. The understanding itself will create a renewed interest in the subject and want you read more and more number of times without boredom.
2)Visualise the situation for maths and science concepts.
3) Look up for the information that help you visualise situation.
4) Learning Geography by using acronyms for difficult words.
Most importantly, "keep thinking" about the new concept. This will allow you to organize your thoughts and associated aspects. Create "folders" in your mind for various subjects.
And remember, facts and trivia questions should occupy the least amount of memory. Look them up a few days before the exam.
Einstein said, " I dont remember a lot of numbers and facts-I can always look them up in a book".
It is more important to get the concept in the mind.

Practice! Maybe your mind purges information it deems useless by how you remembered it or the amount of times you encounter that memory. Enjoy what you learn and revisit the memory often. Being able to understand the context is a good thing as well. But, not necessary for memory. We can remember puzzle pieces in life if they get to us. But, context definitely helps the learning process.

Experiencing=Remembering:
The things that you learn the best are those that you've experienced for yourself. Someone can give you all of the advice in the world, but until you experience a particular situation, you can't truly learn or understand it. For example, have you ever heard about someone having a broken heart and then you actually experience it for yourself? Wow! Need I say more?
So, in short, experience is life's best teacher.

It's been prooven that audio retention is more effective than visual retention. I'd say record your lectures and use them for review exercises. This is not a replacement for but an addition to the current learning process, meaning, no don't skip class.

remember each answer or paragraph by and incident that happened to u and that is relevant to that phase or word in that phrase....but understanding is 100% easier than memorising so understand the technique rather than just trying to learn the words there by-heart

Listen well, take notes/record the information. Then reread the information or listen to it at home. Study your notes, look up references, study with a partner.

repeat them at least seven times. memory is retained by forming a node on the brain path in the area in which it is stored. we remember better the things which form the biggest nodes.

Experience!!!
If it's not something you can physically 'do' then write it down and say it out loud.
Record it on a cassette and listen to it while you're falling asleep.
