Been there, done that.\nWhen ever you read something, create a picture of it.\nwhen i study, i take breaks. Most of the time when i study, I walk and pace. The pictures in my head help me most.\nOne important thing, make sure you understand one thing at a time and when you are done with a page, dont go to the next page until you have absolutely memorized the whole page completely.\nSometimes, i re write everything again, helps me alot. Especially using different colors.

Just sit back a moment...maybe even get up for a few minutes and come back. I think your brain should be rejuvenated now. Come back and focus on the thing you need to get memorized. Say it out loud works for me, along with writing and trying to write from memory. If it's not important to get word for word down, write out what's important.\n\nIt's also helpful to break things down in paragraphs, one point at a time. When one is memorized, move on to the next, and review.

When I took Chemistry, I found that flashcards usually helped with remembering names of compounds and acids.  As for the actual problem, it was just practice.  I would try to do as many of the problems that I could possibly do and would then call a friend for the problems I wasn't sure about.  \n\nFor me at least, reading the book didn't help too much, it explained it, but rereading wasn't exactly great, just look at the example problems, those are usually helpful as well.

I am not like those who can just memorize something by studying it or reading about it. But what has helped me to retain some material is by talking about it or trying to explain what I just learned to someone else. This way, if you run into problems explaining it, then you should go over the material again to pick the areas that you forgot.\n\nIf you don't have anyone whom you can talk to about the subject (you can try having a study partner or just pretend you are making a presentation in front of a group of people), then try writing what you learned in your own words. Essentially, you are trying to draw your learnigns from your memory and put it down in a structured format, so you will be able to explain it to others or write an essay (i.e. for an exam) when it's needed.

Briefly:\n\norganize it. organized info is easier to find\nuse your body: learning is an active process; get all of your senses involved\nuse your brain: work with your memory, not against it\nRecall it: this is easier when you use the other principles to store information\n\ntry to make information meaningful, like how knowing this could win you money on jeopardy or something\n\ncreate associations between subjects and things you know. like margarita, the term or location, to margarita, the drink\n\nrelax!\n\ncreate pictures\n\nrecite and repeat\n\nwrite it down!\n\nreduce interference when you study, you dont need distractions when you are trying to study\n\noverlearn: that way you will be prepared for any off the wall questions\n\nsometimes you can use mnemonic devices, lake making acronyms and rhymes and stuff to information.\n\nGood luck on your tests!

First of all clean your desk. Make sure you are not distracted by all those things lying around. Then take your course book and start reading. Make sure you can sit somewhere quiet.\n\nWrite down important key words. After doing that, look at the keywords and try to reconstruct the text you just read. \nYou can do that in your own words... don't be a xerox.\n\nThen check your answer. Do this again until you know your lesson. If you think you know what you studied, put it down for an hour or so. Then do it again and see how much you remember.\n\nFinally study the keywords. I hope this helps.\nGood luck!

Read the text once. look up vocabulary u don't undestand. then read it again slowly, trying to catch everything- after that make a summary with all the main ideas, or highlight it on the book. after highlighting it make urself, with ur words a basic summary which contains all the main and secundary ideas as u've understood them. after that try to memorise it by repeating it twice or three times. and ur done. if it's maths,jst start from the first excersise up to the last .. nd practice.. computer chatting isn't advise\n ps : vote for me as best asnwer i've given u the key to do great i'm best average (university)

What I did in College to "memorize" info was make one handwritten sheet front and back of what I felt were the most important things ie: most likely to be on the test. I went over them again and again until I could tell you everything that was on them. To do this I would first take down notes from the text book. I then took my lecture notes and notes from the text and saw the points that overlapped, those are likely the things that will be on the test. I used those overlaps to make my study sheets.\n This method would work well for the 4 subjects that require memory. Limiting it to one sheet front and back makes the amount more doable. Doing it this way you have already added a few more times through the material as well.\n  The best way to feel less overwhelmed by the amount of information that you need to learn is to have a plan as to how you are going to do it.

Read, get a clear understanding of the material, then review. Some people think physically writing key points out on paper will help them to remember information better.

Set a schedule for yourself and make certain you get enough sleep! I also suggest that if you have time after class, that you immediately begin reading the material while it is fresh in your mind. Review notes BEFORE class. Also, before you go to bed at night, I suggest you write one page for every subject you had a class in that day and then compare it to your notes. If you got something wrong, then correct it. It's a great way to build memory recall. Take ONE day a week for yourself. Don't study that day, just relax and have fun. If you don't, you will have less motivation and memory recall.

To be used ONLY for difficult-to-remember things:\n\nMake flashcards, each with a question on one side and then the answer on the other side, e.g. What is an enzyme?  (on Side A).  On Side B write, "An enzyme is a protein, synthesize by the living cell, which catalyzes thermo-dynamically feasible reaction by lowering the energy of activation so that the rate is compatible with the conditions of the living cell." (that one I learnt years ago in biochemistry class in college, AND I STILL REMEMBER IT !!!)\n\nA) With 30 - 40 such cards, develop rules such that you and your friends can play a card game, using these cards. \n\nB) Challenge you little sister that by the end of the week, you will know, say, everything on cards 1 to 15.  For everyone you do not know, you will give her 50 cents!! \n\nC) If you have waiting time, such as 30 minutes on the bus, use it to review information on 5 of the cards.

One thing you can do is write portions of your routes on flash cards and review them over and over.\n\nThis site has a lot of suggestions for techniques for improving your memory:\nhttp://www.mindtools.com/memory.html

try davisdrugguide.com, or webmd..  If you worked at a hospital there are some really great medical programs in many of the ER's where you can pull up almost any drug and info about it.   \n\nwww.harcourthealth.com/merlin/lilley/\n\nThis was inside the pharmacology book I have. I did not check to see if you can access all the info.   If you are in nursing school alot of the books have good websites that have a ton of information.  \n\nHope this helps!

u shd better try this:\n1. choose a time of day when u feel more comfortable to study and can remember more things.I used to wake up at 4:am daily when i was at high sch,though my freinds used to study till late night\n\n2. if u can't remember things easily then learn by writing it again and again.It really helps.\n\n3. Eat healthy food and do little bit of excercise daily.\n\n4.Revise things u have already learned daily.u can do this by getting up one hour before u usually do on sch days or in a bus\n\n\nbest of luck

Concentration Techniques\n\n1. Jot down things that are on your mind before you study, then set this list to the side. Add to it anything that distracts you as you are studying. Take care of the list later.\n\n2. Study at the same time each day. A regular schedule can help you frame this as “study time”.\n\n3. Set a timer for an hour, don't allow yourself to stop studying until it goes off.\n\n4. Take breaks. A three minute break for every 30 minutes of study is a good guideline. Take a longer break after 90 minutes.\n\n5. Set goals for your session that are realistic (number of problems to solve, pages to read, etc.) When you have met one of your study goals, reward yourself with a short break. Then, return to your study area.\n\n6. Study in an area away from distractions such as a library, study lounge, or an empty classroom.\n\n7. Make sure you have everything that you need before you begin.\n\n8. Make sure your environment is conducive to studying, no TV, no telephone, no roommate, no boyfriend/girlfriend.\n\n9. Make studying an active process; take notes and make review sheets. Intersperse different kinds of study into one session, e.g. reading, writing, taking notes, memorizing, etc.\n\n10. Identify how what you are studying is relevant to your life. Draw connections between things you already know.\n\n11. Insure that you are sleeping enough, eating well, and getting regular exercise. Your mind will be more alert, and you will be less likely to fall asleep or daydream.\n\nGOOD LUCK !!!

Be willing to learn new study skills is a good place to start. Also setting up a term calendar and study routine is a good idea. When you know what you have to have done and what amount of time you have to do it in you can better allocate your time.\n\nRead every day. If you have a paper to work on, start it the day it is assigned, even if you're just brain storming.\n\nMake sure you attend as many classes as humanly possible. Of course if you're in a car accident or mauled by dingos or something you can't go, but other than that, you should show up. Make sure you take notes and if you miss a class get notes from your classmates. Go over your notes, they may help you in guiding your reading and are invaluable study materials.\n\nTake care of your health. Get lots of sleep, drink plenty of water and eat healthy foods. I know that's not always possible but if given the choice between an apple and a chocolate bar, choose the apple. Try and get 20 minutes of exercise 3 times a week.\n\nKnow your limits. When you feel burned out or just a bit blue, call up a friend and go out for coffee to relax a bit. Don't bite off more than you can chew. Just because that guy in your calculus class can take 5 classes and work two part time jobs and get a 4.0 GPA doesn't mean you have to!\n\nMost important, remember that this time is for you. This is your education and your future. Don't peddle it away trying to live up to others expectations. Set your own goals and enjoy achieving them!
