how does one........?

Question

I have a problem with studying for tests, and remembering what I learned in my classes. I feel overwhelmed with the information giving to me. How does one get better at studying and remembering. Are there any foods out there that will help one's meomory? I'm open to any suggestions!!

Answer 1

I wish there were foods that did it, but I don't know of any. I do know that getting enough sleep makes a difference, and it is the one thing most students forego during exam periods. My best study tip is to keep narrowing down the material you have to focus on, or it does become overwhelming. I start with all my notes, then cross off those things which I clearly know and wouldn't have any trouble remembering or the exam. That already leaves me with less material to have to review. Then, as I study more, I go through again, and again I cross off those things which I really have down by now. I keep doing that until I'm left with only a few things to focus on, and I can spend all of my time on those. I do try to save time for a quick run-through of everything at the end, just as a reminder, but by then I'm confident that I've learned everything and it IS just a reminder. And if I don't have time for that, I'm okay anyway.

Answer 2

The program is 3--R's. That is Read, Rite, Review..
First read the assignment. Rite in your notebook for that subject an outline. Review what you have done.
Second Day--review the first assignment. Press on and RRR the second days assignment...
Third Day---Review the first assignment---review the second assignment. Press on and RRR the third assignment.

Real techinical information will require more intense study.

By the time you RRR the tenth assignment---you will have reviewed the first assignment 10 times.

Do this for all your classes and have a notebook for each subject. Make sure you buy your favorite pens--you will use the up. Please do not ever mark in yellow or pink in a text book... This is not to punish you. You are a normal kid and you will probable have to work harder to achieve your goals. Your having trouble getting one "A's". Think about getting all "A" as a goal. The problem is that no one has ever told you how to study. Remember your at school to learn---that is you job. Just like when dad goes to work to support the family. Looks like a lot of work and sweat---not much time for Playing on the computer and being on the phone.

I have a problem---that is what you said. I wrote the solution and I care if you get better grades. Your friends do not. If you show your friends the solution they will laff, tell you that it is too much work. What is the goal or profession---7 & 11 Store clerk or Nurse-- Dog Doctor-- Naval Academy Graduate Fighter Pilot. Wal Mart executive--- It takes college degrees and that is the rule. Best years are coming.

almonds help with memory but it's not that it's the way you are studying. Do you cram everything in last minute? Do you write down EVERYTHING your professor says? Professors tend to go on tangents so you need to differentiate between what he is saying what is needed for the class.

Lectures are usually an outline of the book so study your lecture notes that correlate with the book info. The best way to study is review what you've learned after every class. Break it up into sections and use flashcards. Make sure your flash cards are limited to a sentence or two for each term. If it's more than 2 sentences you need a new card.

Do not cram, just study after every class so when you study for the exam you'll only need to refresh your memory a bit. good luck

Answer 4

I'm heard of studies where food (specifically flavors) could help with memory. A professor somewhere gave his students mints every day in class. During the next exam, he gave his students the same kind of mint partway into the exam. The students reported being able to recall things from class better once they were given a mint.
It works the same way a smell can remind you of grandma (or who ever else) because it smells like her house. It is another sensory level association with other memories. It should work with any other flavor like a particular flavor gum.
I guess this improves your recall ability, not your memory, but it still sounds like it's worth a try!

Answer 5

sometimes what I do is I take the notes from class, pin-point what I think will be on the test and then rewrite them so they'll be fresh in my memory and then I'm not trying to memorize a bunch of useless facts :) good luck

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8
