I really depends on if you are auditory (learn better by hearing and speaking) or visual (learn better by reading and writing). \n\nI feel that many auditory students have trouble learning. I was that way. I was working just to make 'C's in High School and the beginning of College. One day I was driving to school and I realized that I knew every word to the music I was singing. I didn't even try to memorize the music. \n\nI though I wish I could do the same with my school work. Well I ended up reading my whole chapters to tape. Then I listened to the tape again and again. Remember I learn better by listening, so when I am reading I don't learn as well. That means that when I am reading the book to tape I am not learning as much. Later when I listen to the tape, I learned a lot better.\n\nTry it, tell me how it goes.

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:

Play with it, thats the only way to learn. Just remember to take notes.

One very good and effective way is to construct mind maps of what u have studied. You can see the links and connections between concepts and so it gives you a whole picture. Sometimes, we u construct mind maps, you will come to know which parts you have understood and which parts u need to do further studying. And u can even use it for revision. My student, as young as ten yrs old use this method to study science. And it's really good, she find it so much easier to revise using the mind map. \n\nYou can plan your studying - this is impt. too. try not to do too much per day. you'll only get information overload. So plan what u want to study for the next day. write it down on post-it note and stick it to ur organiser or ur room bulletin board. And you can even write down a reward for urself if u manage to finish those tasks. E.g. study science chapter 5 and do mind map, complete math questions on the topic on factorisation. Reward: play pc game for 30 min if i manage to finish the tasks. \n\nStudy SMART - Not everything is impt. We do not need to memorise everything from the history or geography book to get a good grade. Get the main points. Find shortcuts to learning though u have to be careful in finding the right ones. teachers do give tips during lesson time indirectly.. so pay attention in class to catch 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

Write it down, then repeat it over and over at least seven times.  Close your eyes and try to visualize what you are trying to memorize.  Associate it with a picture, color, or person, anything that may help you recall.

do you mean\n"by which methods do we learn best?"\n\nsuch as: lectures, reading, video, TV   etc

Repetition, recitation and write waht you think is important. Most importantly though is to take a ten minute break every thirty minutes. (your brain can only absorb so much new information in a given amount of time) Don't do anything just sit there. What you want is for what you are studying to take hold in your long term memory. If you watch TV or talk to someone the new stimuli will push out the old stimuli (what you've been studying), and come tommorrow you will remember more of what you watched on TV and talked about.

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.

Think about it differently.  Before you go the drug route or anything like that, sit at your desk for 15 minutes or however long you can, and study a chapter, an equation, a definition...whatever it is.  Then, instead of just walking away and zoning out for a bit, take your book or notes, and sit down at your kitchen table.  Study another chapter, equation, question or definition there for awhile.  Then, head out front to your front porch, or back yard, and continue to do it.  \n\nI'm the same way, but I found that doing that not only takes out the monotony of studying, but when it comes time to take the test or give the presentation, I associate certain parts of what I studied with where I was studying it.  Maybe, I remember looking at a particular tree while I was trying to memorize a set of words or somethnig, you know what I mean?  It kind of triggers the memory and helps me out a bit.

People can forget up to half what they learn within one hour and almost everything within 2 days. Refresh your memory by reading over your notes every 2 days.Two weeks before exams take your notes and rewrite them - rewriting is a great way to keep things fresh in your memory. Also figure out what kind of things you need to learn. Is it checklists, chunks of text, legal cases or ways to solve problems? The approach is different for each. But the main tip is remember what you want to get from your qualifications and stay focussed on that. Then you can stay motivated.

There are a lot of memorization techniques you can learn. Decide what kind of learner you are and then think up a technique accordingly. Like if you learn visually, try to imagine a picture to each question. And associate that with he question. An audio learner? Maybe you can make a song in your head or a "pattern" (Kind of like how you would memorize a phone number). There are a lot of things you can do just be creative. Think about the things you learned the easiest and think about why you learned it so fast OTHER then just being very interested int he subject. Good luck.\n\nOn a side note I am an audio learner so if I have somsone speek what I need to remember to me... I have a 70% better chance of learning it... In my opinion anyway. It works for me.

General answer -- the way that works best for you to remember the key parts.\n\nReally, the "best way" is different based upon individual learning styles and previous knowledge.\n\nSome common techniques -- read it thoroughly. Summary the main points in your own words, in addition to any quotes you think are important. Really seek to understand the content.\n\nWriting it down longhand (as opposed to typing it) helps if you learn kinesthetically. \n\nReading it outloud to yourself, or reading the summaries, helps if you are an auditory learning.\n\nThe bottom line is that you need to keep your notes short enough that you can retain them in memory, without missing essential concepts.

The most important thing is to concentrate what you are reading, if you don't have enough focus on it you won't recall and even understand it. Most of the time when you have enough concentrate you'll recall the point of your study.\nBefore reading your kind of study, try to specify what you are exactly going to read. Through this you will have much aim for study your lessons.\nDon't forget to make light and the temperate of your room in the best way.

The most effective way for me to study is to use flash cards.  I think this is because in addition to "flashing" them to study I have written down the question and the answer.

Find ways to incorporate motion into your studying (writing, flashcards, etc.).\n\nGet a board game like trivial pursuit, monopoly, etc., make new cards with the information you need to learn, and play the game, drawing one card each turn and answering it before you get to move your piece.\n\nTo memorize lists, go get a basketball, and bounce the ball. For each bounce, say one item on your list.\n\nTo remember and analyze overall concepts, find a way to apply them around your house (especially for science). For social studies, find something you can do that is close to what the historical figures did (but safer), and do it while thinking about them.
