how do i understand the subject rather than memorization of subject?

The correct answer is this: Understanding a subject comes from understanding ALL of the words in the text you are reading and from working out how to apply that text to life.\n\nI have done a course called the Basic Study Manual, after which my understanding of data increased one hundred fold. It is so simple. The course was written by L. Ron Hubbard, the guy who founded Scientology, but it is a secular course - non-religious - and is used in schools in many parts of the world. I would highly recommend it. You can go to the link here to read about it: http://www.appliedscholastics.org/bookstore/item-description.php?id=76\n\nAnyone can remember something if they cram it into their brain enough times, but understanding of a subject is the real treasure because you will never forget.

You'll be able to remember better and answer more analytical questions if you really understand the material rather than memorizing it.  It helps to form a study group and discuss the topic, the lecture and apply the material to other situations.

Set aside a certain amount of time each day to review the material from class.  Re-read and highlight your own notes for main ideas and major details.  If you don't have notes, but you have a textbook, you can skim each chapter and take brief notes now.  Some people work well in study groups where others can explain concepts that you may not understand, but some people can't focus that way.  Learn what is best for you by trying a variety of strategies--with or without music/people/etc.  It also depends what you're studying, but having someone quiz you out loud can help if you need to learn vocabulary.  Good luck!

The more we know about a variety of subjects, the more enriched our lives are. You may not appreciate the knowledge of musical history, theory, or practical experience now. Someday in the future, you will find it to be priceless.\n\nFor now, if you need to find something to relate to... watch for references to the things you're learning in music, in your favorite TV shows. \n\nTV writers are often highly educated in literature, music, and fine arts, and make references and jokes that only those with similar levels of knowledge can recognize and appreciate. The more you learn in your music and literature classes, the more laughs you'll get when you're watching TV or sitting in a movie theater.

Teach on how to remember something using "Mnemonics".\n\nMnemonics.\n\nINTRODUCTION \n\nMnemonics (pronounced "ne-mon'-ics") is the art of assisting the memory by using a system of artificial aids - rhymes, rules, phrases, diagrams, acronyms and other devices - all to help in the recall of names, dates, facts and figures.\n\nhttp://www.eudesign.com/mnems/_mnframe.htm\n\nhttp://www.fun-with-words.com/mnemonics.html\n\nhttp://www.happychild.org.uk/acc/tpr/mne/index.htm\n \nBasic mnemonics \n\nThese mnemonics can be applied immediately, although it certainly pays off to practice them first. All of these mnemonics are based on elaboration and association, which why we start out with these. Elaboration adds more meaning to a word, while association makes sure that two words are thoroughly linked together in memory. \n\nhttp://memory.uva.nl/memimprovement/eng/\n\nAmanda's Mnemonics Page.\n\nhttp://www.netnaut.com/mnemonics.html\n\n\nAll the very best of luck to you.\n\nKevin, Liverpool, England.

1) do multiplication problems in your head  for 10 minutes before you go to sleep.  \n\n2) Learn three new words   every  other day and spend the\n       next day trying to use them.\n\n3) Use mnemonic devices to remember lists.\n     If you have a list of several items, make a sentence where the first letter of each word corresponds to the first letter of each item in the list.  \n    Example:  the 5 senses are --hearing, smell, sight, taste, touch.   H,S,S,T,T\nYour sentence might be :  He Should Stop Telling Tales.\n4) Practice memorizing states and capitals.  Little by little and every night for a little while.  This will help your concentration\nand will keep your memory active.\nRepetition is the key.\nWhen you have all the states perfected, start on the countries of the world and the periodic chart.\nMemory is like any other skill; you have the ability, but it requires regular practice.\nGood 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!

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.

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.

READ!!! The higher the level, the more words you will learn. If you love reading, then the vocab you read from the book will slowly being to creep into your daily vocab use. \nLearning another language also helps you understand larger words in English, plus it's a great benefit to you in general. \nUse flashcards, or go online and search difficult words online. : )

1/  Make crib notes of important points to remember...these are good in jostling your memory...\n\n2/  After an hour of study...take a practise test on that subject/chapter...even if it is an old test...this breaks the monotomy of just reading and helps you see what testers would be looking for...so you know what to retain and what is okay to "know broadly"\n\n3/  Mix up your studying with discussion groups with your friends...be serious about it though....agree to read on a chapter and meet and discuss....you will actually remember more if you make the subject/material "come alive". Also a great way to learn difficult material....\n\n4/  Study early in the morning when you are fresh and likely to remeber more then spend the afternoon doing soemthing else....practise tests, discussion groups or just relaxing.

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)

Improving Your Memory\n\n1) Really think about you want to remember. If you wish to enter information into long-term memory, it is important to think about it. Ask questions about it, consider its meaning, and examine its relationship to information you already know. In other words, engage in “deep processing”. Doing so will help make the new information part of your existing knowledge frameworks – and increase your chances of remembering it at a later time.\n\n2) Pay careful attention to what you really want to remember. Unless you pay careful attention to information you want to remember, it stands little chance of really getting in” – into long-term memory. So, be sure to direct your full attention to the information you want to remember. True, it involves a bit of hard work, but in the long run, it will save you time and effort.\n\n3) Minimize interference. Interference is a major cause of forgetting, and, in general, the more similar materials are, the more likely they are to produce interference. In practical terms, this means that you should arrange your studying so that you don’t study similar objects one right after the other. Instead, work on subjects that are unrelated: the result may be less interference between them, better grades.\n\n4) Engage in distributed learning/practice. Don’t try to cram all the information you want to memorize into long-term storage at once. Rather, if possible, space your studying over several sessions – preferably several days. This is especially true if you want to retain the information for long periods of time rather than just the next examination.\n\n5) Use visual imagery and other mnemonics. You’ve probably already heard the saying ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’. Where memory is concerned, this is sometimes true; it is often easier to remember information associated with vivid mental images (e.g., Gehrig & Toglia, 1989). You can put this principle to use by adopting any one of several different mnemonics – tactics for improving memory. One of these, the method of loci, involves linking points you want to remember with visual images arranged in some familiar order. For instance, suppose you want to remember the points in a speech you will soon be delivering. You can imagine walking through some familiar place, say, your own home. Then, form a series of images in which each item you wish to remember is placed in a specific location. Perhaps the first point is “The greenhouse effect is real”. You might imagine a large, steamy greenhouse right outside your front door. The next point might be “Cutting down the rain forest is increasing the greenhouse effect”. For this one, you might imagine a large, cut down tree in your living room. You would form other images, in a different location, for the other points you want to make. Then, by taking an imaginary walk through your house, you can “see” each of these images and thus remember the points in your speech.\n\n6) Give yourself retrieval clues. Remember the concept of state-dependent retrieval? As noted previously, you can use this principle to provide yourself with extra retrieval cues and so help enhance your memory. For instance, if you studied for a test while in a physical state, try to be in the same state when you take it – this may help. Similarly, use the principle of mood-dependent memory. If you learned some material while in a given mood and then want to remember it, try to put yourself in this same mood. This is not as hard as it may sound: you can often vary your own mood by imagining happy or sad events. To the degree that your mood now matches your mood when you learned the information, your memory may be enhanced for it.\n\n7) Develop your own shortcut codes. To learn the names of the planets in our solar system, many children use the first letter technique, in which the first letter of each word in a phrase stands for an item to be remembered. So, the sentence “Mary’s Viol

A LITTLE EACH DAY INSTEAD OF CRAMMING THE NIGHT BEFORE.  TRY REVIEWING EACH TIME WHAT YOU READ THE DAY BEFORE TOO.  REPITITION HELPS.  ALSO, TRY WRITING IMPORTANT FACTS A COUPLE OF TIMES.  WRITING SEEMS TO KEEP INFORMATION IN YOUR HEAD LONGER.

The problem is that you are trying to remember too much at one time.\nBreak down the main points in point form.  I always liked to condense \nthings down to just a few words, then you can memorize them much\neasier.  After you do that, you can take the first letter of each item and\nmake an anagram of it.  I would also write the words down several times.\nSomehow it would make a better impression in my brain if I did that.  I\nswear sometimes I could actually see that writing in my brain when I\nhad to recall it.  Try it.  Good luck.
