Step 1: Divide. Memorizing 1000 words seems like a lot. Memorizing 10 words doesn't. Divide the words into 100 subsets. And memorize those one by one.

Step 2: Read, recite repeat. -- For every 10 word set, read it. Then as best you can from memory, try writing the words down. When you can write the list down 5 times from memory, move on to the next set. Then, come back to the list an hour later and try to remember as much as possible.

Step 3: Sleep -- You don't learn something until you sleep. Get a full night sleep tonight and tomorrow.

Step 4: Before you go to bed tonight go over your list. 5 times. Then the first time you do when you wake up is try to write down the list as best you can from memory.

Step 5: Categorize -- put the words into some kind of categorical system. Then name each of one of the categories. Try to memorize the names of the categories, so when you take your test you want need to recall the word, but the category, and make an educated guess based on that.

(1) First of all, study the words you got wrong and make sure you don't neglect these. If you already know you don't know these, you need to study these separately until you get them right.

(2) To organize the words on notecards, separate by the parts of speech. Even put them in different colors if it helps.
I use Green - verbs (go/action words), yellow - adverbs, red-adjectives, blue - nouns. Put the word on one side and the definition, use in a sentence on the other side. If you can't get the word, peek at the sample sentence using it, and that will help you memorize it in context.

(3) Organize like adjectives together, so you can learn synonyms together and also distinguish words you are confusing with each other. This is very important. You cannot learn 1000 words unless you group them. Your mind can only deal with 5 categories at a time, so I would list them by parts of speech and learn the groups that way so you don't overwhelm your mind with too much unorganized information.

(4) Very important -- as you go through the cards, put the ones you know without looking in one stack, ones you absolutely go blank or miss in one stack, and iffy ones in the middle. Then focus on the ones you miss, and the ones you guess half the time but are not sure of. This will help you focus on where you are getting words mixed up or just not getting them at all.

By making your own index cards, you will already start memorizing them, because you are writing and organizing them. It is VERY important to write a sample sentence, especially if you missed it on a test so you can learn it correctly.

Organize, and let that process be part of your study.
The better you organize and process the words that is the trick to learning them in context.

P.S. If you are short on time, photocopy the tests or words lists and paste them onto notecards, and just write the sentences by hand. If you don't have time to write in different colors, can you use different color notecards. So you will trick your mind into breaking them down into smaller groups so it doesn't seem like one huge group of 1000. This will make it seem more manageable to make smaller groups.

Answer 5

sure, that's stable for memorizing words. not stable for being waiting to speak. are you able to apply those words? that's what counts. this is one reason Rosetta Stone is a waste of time and funds. cut back down at fairly the form of words and advance the usefulness of those words. examine examine examine.

Answer 6

Wow, that is brutal. Record the words and their definitions onto some kind of recording device (tape recorder, mp3 player recorder, etc) and play them back to yourself. Quizzing yourself is a good idea too.

Answer 7

It depends on how you memorize.

-flash cards are good b/c you can mix the order
-writining down the word and try to wirte down the def (it worked for me)
-draw clues that link meaning and word and memorize the pic

i memorize vocab myself and i use stupid tricks like..
for penitent (meaning regretful) i would say myself
if you make tent out of pennies you would regret.

stupid but it works,,at least to me

and try to shorten your def. into a word
