HI! It is by trying to understand it and having a dictionary or thesaurus at hand. The best thing is to understand it so you can say it in your own words.\n\nCheers!\n\nMitch

Here are some tips that work best for me.  Hopefully they will work for you too.\n\nIf you have one exam to study, divide the work up into small "chunks".  This will improve your chance of remembering the information.  Study for only about an hour at a time.  Often times if you study past an hour, the information will be a big blur and difficult to comprehend and remember.  You may always study more, but give yourself a break.\n\nIf you have more than one exam, follow the tips above.  Just make sure you are studing all of the subject areas everyday.\n\nHope that helps,\n\nAlex

Practice makes perfect. \nListen to the key words. \nOnce you learn to stop to think how a word is spelled \nyou should get faster in taking notes. \nTo make sense of your notes, and help you remember, go over them as soon as possible after class and round out your writing then. \nEventually the whole process will become second nature. \nChoose a writing utensil that is best for your speed and the pressure you put on the paper.

Repetition does not guarantee memorization. Do you remember poems or speeches you had to give from memory in high school? I don't. The best way to improve memory is to associate the item with as many things as you can think of. Anything, sights, sounds, smells, words, feelings. The more the better. Saying it and hearing yourself say them is also important. But all in all, if you don't use it regularly, it will soon be relegated to your mental trash bin.

I memorized by going over and over the material, just spending alot of time looking at it.  Also, exactly like someone else said, I have made flash cards from index cards, write the term on one side and the answer on the other.  I would punch a hole in the upper corner and put them on one of those rings that open and clasp shut.

My daughter is learning this right now!  I taught her to first memorize:\n\nMean - average\n\nMedian - Middle\n\nMode - most \n\nOnce you memorize that you are half way there.\n\nThe first step I have her do is put all the numbers in order\n\nI.E.:\n\n1\n2\n3\n3\n3\n4\n5\n\n\nThen look at the middle number - 3\nLook at what occurs most - 3\nNow add them up and divide by how many numbers there are:\n1 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 21 \n\n21 divided by 7 = 3\n\n3 is the mean

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.

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!

Been there, done that. In my case the best way to memorize SAT vocabulary is to play matching games with words on http://www.internetpolyglot.com/lessons-en-en?lessonName=SAT

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.

Let me tell you how I passed world history with a college teacher in his first year teaching 9th grade. Memorize everything to the absolute letter as far as notes. That was the only way.

trust me this works...most people have a much better visual memory then a mental one...what you need to do is get a blank sheet write all the words down so in a way that you can see it in your head, ie. different sizes, font, alphabetical or in groups or whatever, then look at the page, memorise how its laid out close your eys picture it then write it out on a new sheet, do this till you can do it right without referring, time consuming but you'll get full marks...as soon as you get into the test (if its written) justy write down your memory sheet on a piece of paper and you'll have all the answers

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.
