what is the easiest way to remember biology and chemistry??

The easiest way to remember Chemistry equations: is to write it down and make notes on it.\n\nThe easiest way to learn biological terms is also to write it down - instead of writing down its meaning, try writing a sentence using that word. If you add humor to the sentence - it will be more easier for you to remember.\n\nTo understand the theory behind both - give names to the terms involved and try imagining it in your mind.\n\nExample: Say an "Electrolytic Solution" is a lake, the "Electrodes are Trees" etc. etc... and try imagining something happening.. it is easier to remember it that way!

Ok, relax. Take a deep breath. It's not going to be so bad. Just take things one step at a time.\n\n1. Determine what you know and what you don't know. Look at your lecture or class notes and in your textbook. \n\n2. Find out what is most likely going to be on the exam. You don't want to waste time learning things that don't count. The only way to know is to ask around or look at your own notes. Most teachers give students a good idea about what is on their exam, but if you missed that class, ask your classmates. Sometimes teachers use past exams, modifying them just slightly. Previous exams can be very helpful.\n\n3. Work out the problems if you have a math or science class. Memorizing formulas is useful, but it's nowhere near as useful as actually doing real homework problems. If you don't have a science or math class, you will most likely be dealing with memorization.  Even if you're studying the night before the exam, if your exam has problems, you need to be able to work them out. \n\n4.If your exam is largely memorization, then the only sure-fire way is to take some note cards and jot down notes, and memorize them. When I used to study for biology classes I would write down things like metabolic processes or photosyntesis and literally memorize them one-by-one. If you can develop a short-hand "heurstic" it would help you a lot. To give you an example: the taxonomic system of classifying organisms can be remembered best as "King Phillip Came Over From Greece SInging" which means Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. Or the order of colors ROY-G-BIV Red-Orange-Yellow-Green-Blue -Indigo-Violet. You can always make up your own memorization short cuts.\n\n5. Always go back to your notes to make sure you're covering what needs to be covered. You don't want to end up spending hours on a chapter that is barely covered while spending little time covering the most important chapter in the book. Keep in mind that in some cases teachers/professors will have questions on the exam which are not covered in the text book. Go back to your notes and ask friends if there are topics that were covered in class but not so much in the book.\n\nRemember, studying for your exam is a methodical process, quite similar to preparing for a major battle. The invasion of Normandy may have been a stunning one-day event, but it took a lot of careful planning to carry out. EVen if you are pressed for time at the last hours before your exam, you need to keep your composure and approach the process attentively and methodically.\n\nGood luck!

UUH!! STUDY?! Haha. I loved biology and always did very well in my tests and exams. A few tips:\n\n1. study in advance to alleviate panic\n2. study in 1 hour blocks - study for an hour then go for a 30 minute walk or take a healthy snack or a cold shower - DO NOT WATCH TV OR GET ON THE INTERNET\n3. use diagrams and colors - psychology studies show that the use of images and colors for study are very, very efficient. there are plenty of diagrams on the internet through image searches for processes like the krebs cycle or body systems like the digestive tract.\n4. Get a lot of sleep. it helps your mind be sharp and ready to learn and soak up information\n5. Get enthsiastic. If you feel dragged into this and bored, you won't absorb all the information. Pump yourself up about it. If you really hate biology, just keep thinking how good it would be to score an A or B and be over with it\n6. Eat light and healthy. Big, greasy or heavy meals usually make you sleepy and detract from your concentration. \n7. Make "bare bones" notes just reminding you of certain steps or names of things. Limit these notes to short sentences or a few words only this will help you in your last minute cramming. It also helps jog your memory without giving you so much information that you will rely on the notes for your answers. \n8. Make up pneumonic devices like ROY G. BIV for the colors of the rainbow or make up a poem. once, I wrote a short story about a piece of steak going through the digestive tract, and guess what, 3 years later, I still remember EVERY SINGLE STEP!!\n\nGood luck! Happy studying!

Improving your memorising really depends on what kind of learner you are..\n - If you are visual you need to associate things with images or set them out in a way that is easy for you to understand. You can work on your visual memory by drawing diagrams, staring at them for a while, then re-drawing the diagram on a blank page until you remember the whole thing. This helped me with a lot of biochemistry exam questions!\n - If you're an audio learner, you need to hear what you're trying to learn. You can do this by recording your voice reciting what you need to learn or by telling someone else what you need to remember (even if it's an inanimate object or a pet, it actually works).\n - If you learn by actually doing things, then the best way is to write out what you need to learn and keep on writing until you remember.\n\nAs for help with getting extra marks in exams, the best method is to start with the questions you know you can answer easily first. Then if you hit a question that is taking you too long, leave it and then come back to it later. And if there's something you don't remember as a part of a question, at least attempt to answer what you can because you can grab extra marks without answering the whole question.\n\nGood luck! :)

Try to do as much hands-on learning as you can. Learning from a text-book can often become boring and monotonous. Try to have fun while you learn. Some other tips- if you have a list of things that need to be remembered, try to make a code of it- for example, a code for the Great Lakes is HOMES (Huron, Ontario, Missouri, Erie, Superior). Also, try to make a rap song out of the things you have to remember and make them as funny as possible. Good luck!

Write it down and look at it every once in a while. The other thing I do to remember numbers is to associate it with something that I cannot forget. Analogies work greatly in memory!

First you have to spare time for studying and make sure  you understand everything before you skip into another chapter.Try to write what you remembered after you read without looking at your notes

note cards work best. coming from a science major who has taken general chem and organic chem

c, c, d, b, a\nThose were really easy. Are you sure you should be in the level of science which you are taking?

Learn the prefixes and suffixes -- this will help you weed out incorrect answers on the test as well as choose correct answers.\n\nAlso, I always found it useful to post short lists of words I needed to memorize (both for the GRE and when studying a foreign language) over the sinks in the kitchen and bathroom -- that way I can review when I brush my teeth and do the dishes.  \n\nFlash cards also work wonders.  I like to color-code mine.  You could do yours by parts-of-speech or into groups of words with similar meanings.   That way if you come across a word and don't remember the definition, you might remember the color of its flash card and be able to guess.\n\nGood luck!

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.

what the hell are teachers doing these days?! making their science students write freakin acrostic poems!\n\nbut really its easy!\ntake a bunch of facts you know about cells, because in a poem for a class besides creative writing or maybe english, facts are most important. \nthen find a bunch of words that start with those letters in your lists. or just come up with words randomly and attach a fact to it. \n\nc, chloroplast, cellula, cork, convert\ne, every, enzymes\nl, likenesses, life, lipid\ns, structure, self-contained, self-maintaining\nblah blah blah

At least a week ahead of time make a personal study guide. This means if you learn or remember things with pictures, draw pictures on the sides to help yourself remember; or if you remember things by listening, make a song out of something and include info in it. If you do this, you are learning your way therefore you will remember it. Second of all, the night before a test, make sure you don't overdo it completely with studying. Simply reread your study guide right before you go to bed. Your brain will remember inthe morning. I then suggest you eat a healthy breakfast which contains oils (i forget what they're called) that are contained in fish. Sounds nasty but they help a great deal. An apple also helps you wake up (better than caffeine!) and stay alert which will prevent you from daydreaming during a test. \nBe prepared, don't worry and smile. Good luck!

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.

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:
