Try Mind Mapping!!!\nWrite all the most important facts that need to be remembered on que cards, study them and then shuffle them and map them back together. That way u will remeber the facts and all the little bits that connect them!!!!!

Actually it can depend on how you mind works.  It kinda falls into these categories\n\nReading (visual)/verbal (action)\nShort term Memory/ Long term memory\nQuite/background noise\nDeep focus/ Short focus\n\nSo what you need to do if start testing yourself and seeing how you learn best.  \n\nDO YOU REMEMBER WHAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THEN WHAT YOU READ? \n\nYES:  You should see about studying with friends so the topic can be discussed and thus fixed into you head.  Jot down concepts and information you are unclear or unsure of.  Also topic you know will be covered heavily in the test before meeting with the study group and/or friends.  Then refer to these note to make sure you discuss these when your all together.\n\nNO:  Then you can learn certain reading technique to make scanning material more effective.  And create bullet notes that you can read clearly for review.\n\nDO YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK BETTER THEN THAT LITTLE CHOIR YOU MOTHER JUST ASKED YOU TO DO? \n\n(Good short term test is getting a deck of cards.  Pull out two suits.  Lay the two suits face up in a grid pattern. (Make sure you shuffle them first).  Now look at the card, when you feel you know where everything is flip the cards face down.  Now how many pairs can you find?  The more pairs the better your short term memory is.\n\nYES: Now if you long term memory is better you'll do better reviewing the material in shorter bust but more frequently.  Say at the end of the day review the notes you took that day and the day before.  Then just before a test don't actually study. It will allow you to pull from long term memory instead of stuff you shoved into short term memory the night before.\n\nNO:  If your short term memory is best you will gain from cramming just before a test.  That does mean organization of your notes and material is more important.  It will not only make it easier for you to remember but allow you to cover material quickly.  Use note cards and highlighter when ever possible.\n\nDO YOU FEEL MORE COMPORTABLE WITH ACTIVITY GOING ON AROUND YOU? (The concept of a little noise is that the human brain actually takes a break around every 7 minutes.  The result is at these points if your in an environment your unused to, you brain will wonder off and it’s harder to get back to work.  So if you’ve been trained to focus when things are quite, you’ll study best with things are quite.  Only children tend to work best this way, because they didn’t have a busy house hold around them.  But large families always have noise in the house so children from these homes actually tend to do best with some form of back ground noise going on.\n\nYES: Then turn on some music or the TV.  It’s best if the music or TV show is old and your very familiar with it.  That way when your brain takes the little brake it can focus on the familiar and let you get right back to work. If you can’t have either of those study in a main room with people coming and going, or an old favorite of mine is to go to a park or coffee house.\n \nNO:  Turn off all distractions, like cell phones, close doors, and let everyone know you are not to be disturbed.  If there is not quite place at home go to the library or a similar minded friend’s house. \n\nDO YOU PREFER MAGAZINES OR NOVELS? DOING SEVERAL DIFFERENT THINGS IN ONE DAY VERSE SPENDING THE WHOLE DAY DOING 1 TASK? DO YOU ALWAYS SURF TV CHANNELS INSTEAD OF LEAVING IT ON ONE CHANNEL UNTIL SOMETHING YOU LIKE COMES ON? \n\nYES: Burst study you should always take a break between different topics.  And you shouldn't study longer then 30 minutes if possible, any longer and you start loss your effectiveness.  Take like a 30 minute to hour break and then go back to study more.\n\nNO:  For long term study gather everything you want to get done.  Have it organized in the order you wish to go through the materials.  Get everything you need to be comfortable long term, like drinks, munchies, comfortable chair, extra pape

To increase your brains memory capacity you could try exercising it. Read a page of a book over & over untill it sticks, just like actors do with a script. Or memorise your supermarket receipt everytime you go shopping.\nFish oils also help. You can get fish capsules(omega 3) from any health shop/ supermarket/ pharmacy.

If you naturally love words, tugging a dictionary along with you all the time would be helpful. Any word you encounter that doesn't register in your memory you can easily find-out. Electronic dictionaries come in handy for such occassions: Read.Read.Read. Then check. check. check. the dictionary.\n\nI read from one study that it takes repetition before we can memorize the new words we meet. My point is, just don't get tired of relearning words even though you have studied them before; its part of the learning process. \n\nWriting letters to friends or answering short forums like this also help you use the new vocabulary you learned.\n\nLearning takes up a long time. But learning a two or three words everyday on a consistent basis is every effective.

try this and don't laugh. my grandma told me she read this and it helped her alot. i was doing it for a while but I kept forgeting to do it lol. all you do is tell yourself "my memory is getting better." just like that like 10-15 times a day. "my long term memory is getting better" "i am remembering things more." its really easy and for some reason it works. this can apply to other things too. Try it out. what harm can happen. enjoy. as for studying i can't help you with that one. I have ADD and it kills me to study because I just can't do it.

Don't make it harder than it has to be.\nThink of it as puzzles you're trying to solve, like a game.\nDon't MEMORIZE things.  Instead, understand concepts and methods, and you won't have to memorize much.  Ask lots of questions and be very calm and patient with whoever is answering.\n\nThink positively.  The mind is very powerful, and if you say, "I'm a good learner.  I can do math.  Math is useful," then you will start to believe it.  Really.

It's important to remember the pressing things in life, as well as the beautiful moments of the past. Here are a few simple methods which you can use to improve your memory.\n\n\n1. Put black ink at the end of your palm to remember any important thing for the next day or for that day itself. Whenever you see the black dot, you'll remember what to do.\n2. Visualize whatever you have to do as part of something you see every day. For example, if you have to give your dog some medicine, visualize your dog in your fridge every time you walk past it or look inside. This will keep your dog fresh in your mind.\n3. Write the event or task down immedietely. If you don't have a pen, one thing you can do is change the time on your watch; later on you will remember why it is set at the wrong time.\n4. Write in a diary or journal every day without fail. Even small issues should be written down -- this is a good way to make sure you don't miss anything.\n5. Leave yourself a telephone message reminding yourself of important "to do" tasks.

Practice, practice, practice.  Do exercises involving this activity. For example, memorizing Bible verses, encyclopedia, newspaper articles, etc.  Also, stay off drugs, alcohol and eat healthy.  You would be surprised at how much food choices affect the brain.  Sugar-make it history. Exercise the brain as much as you can. Read everything, when you're in a boring meeting or class, try to memorize what people are wearing and check to see how close you were. Now, as you age, this will get harder each year, trust me. So, if you're young, get to it!

take the practice tests in the book, get practice tests from other books and type up an outline. the act of typing it and thinking it in your head really helps you memorize.

write little notes on pieces of paper and stick them around your room, on your TV or on your mirror.\nThis is what I did.  That way, you see them all the time which makes you memorize them.\n\nA good website is:

Only way to learn fast is to be cool and composite, plan in well advance, try to discuss with friends and try to create a photographic memory because that lasts longer.  Get some time to relax and take some time off from daily activities.  When you learn try to create some links with that what you want to remember.  Get a sound sleep, worrying about anything makes you more vulnerable of forgetting.

This is what I have discovered.  Read over the material in the book or your notes from class (as soon after the class as possible).  Have a small tape recorder next to you and turn it on while you say in your own words the important things to remember to do well in the test.   Once you have the tape, listen to it several times especially times that are available as multitask times (ie.  while driving the car, walking, jogging, working out.  You can even listen when you want to take a nap.  Just start listening and go ahead and fall asleep if you want, it can't hurt as long as you listen to your own tape as many times as possible.  If the lectures are recordable then you can also make a tape of the instructors lecture.  Listen a zillion times and you will have the stuff practically memorized with almost no effort.

Well it depends on if you want to improve your long term memory or your short term memory - they're separate entities.  I suggest looking into some psychology texts in your local library.\n\nMemory is all about practise - it's like learning your times tables when you're young.  Repetition is a good way to do it, but is more suited to memorising something specific.\n\nRemove as many outside distractions as possible when trying to learn something, or else your focus will be split in several directions.

It's not that big a problem, really. Lots of people go through that, and as any student will tell you, by the time they are through with any test or exam, their brains are racked to the utmost.\n\nBut a few simple pointers I can offer you: \n\n-try studying with a group of friends. You realize that when you learn together with other people, the conversational method and discussions will spur you to think clearer and retain more information, especially since you're all sharing what you know. Aspects that weren't readily clear to you might come from another friend.\n\n-write down whatever you have learnt. After your lecture or class finishes, set aside an hour or less than that, just write down in point form (or free form) whatever comes to your mind. You will find that you will slowly start organizing what you know, keeping in your mind fresh what you've just learnt, and can remember them days later since you took the time to learn them.\n\n-talk about it. This might bore your little sister or parent, but if it is a topic that is interesting enough, get somebody to listen to you talk. Tell them what you've learnt, what was fascinating (or not), or simply tell them the topic. When understanding of a subject leaves you, and is expressed to somebody else, you realize you know more, building your confidence, spurring you to find out more, and also remember them.\n\n-finally, its ok to forget. Go through them again, slowly. And relax. Go for a walk. Read in the park. Or listen to some music and have your favourite snack, chocolate or hot drink. :) It helps me.\n\nHope this helps.

There are very good study tips already listed here. There are methods for different subjects and styles of learning. But one thing you might want to consider is how you learn. Are you a visual, auditory, kinetic, or mixed learner. If you are a visual learner here are some tips:\n- use graphic organizers (charts, maps, diagrams, etc.) to organize the information.\n- use pictures either in your head or drawn out. For example, If my students were studying culture, they might draw a bedroom with a poster of an artist on the wall, a shelf with books by famous authors, a cd player with cds of various musicians, etc. \n- use color. Perhaps you could put the major battles of one war in one color and another war in a different color. In foreign languages, try irregular verbs in red, regular verbs in green; Masculine objects in blue, feminine in pink, etc. \n\nIf you are an auditory learner try these tips:\n- have some one read it to you or read aloud and record it for play back at any time.\n- put it to music \n- say the important information aloud\n- put the information in story form (have fun with this: add voices, sound effects, accents, etc.) and tell someone \n\nIf you are a kinetic learner try this:\n- make up actions for important terms\n- act out or role play scenes and events\n- some of my students have made up cheers\n- just move around and find natural actions to match the concepts.\n\nMix and match - \nmake up songs with actions and picture the scenes in your head while you sing.\n\nMake it fun for yourself. I get bored easily. When I study I have to be creative and put it all in simplest form. Some of these things take time to do put you are learning and thinking the whole time. try the links below for more help.

Study longer and harder , so you will be able to remember important things. That should improve your grades.
