BEST TIPS ❤️💯

7 Minutes reading 📖

To overcome this fear and really help yourself remember what you’ve learned, it is useful to use a wide
range of study tips and tricks.
You will be surprised to see how easy it can be to remember difficult concepts and multiple dates once
you establish good study habits, use some active learning tips to really cement the information in your
brain, and use memory tricks to help make remembering easier.
HERE ARE THE HOW TO LEARN WITHOUT FORGETTING.

1. Planning for Success


Elevate Your Self Esteem. Approach studying in a positive manner. If you crack open the books while in
a bad mood about having to study, you won’t have an effective study session.
However, if you are motivated about what you are about to learn, you will have an easier time learning it
and remembering it come test time.
Don’t tell yourself, “I’m never going to learn this.” Be patient with yourself as you try to master new
material.

2. Be a Smart Student
Create and stick to a good study schedule. Take the time to think about when you are most alert and able
to concentrate. For some, this may be immediately after school.
Others may be more productive if they take a break after school and relax a bit before opening the books.
Regardless of when you choose to study, you will retain more information if you study a bit each day (for
30 to 60 minutes at a time) rather than cramming at the last minute.
Remember to incorporate breaks into your study schedule. Breaks give your brain a chance to absorb
what you just studied. During your break, it is helpful to take a short walk or get some fresh air to help
clear your mind.

3. Pick a good place to study


You need to find a quiet space free of distractions, such as a library or an isolated area of your house.
By having an area devoted to studying, your brain will become used to calming down and absorbing
material once you get there.
Keep a set of materials near your study space, such as books, paper, pens, highlighters, a calculator, and
so on.
If you need a computer for your research or studies, you can utilize an app to block specific websites for a
certain period of time. That way, you won’t be tempted to check social media accounts or news feeds
when you should be studying instead

4. Stay organized
Disorganized notes or a messy study room can be enemies to your memory. By creating order in your
environment, you foster order in your mind, so you can better memorize facts and recall them later.

5. Get enough sleep


When you sleep, your brain converts facts from short-term memory to long-term memory. Even a short
nap can help with this process.

6. Practicing Active Learning


Read your materials out loud. Using multiple senses can help you retain more information, so even just
saying the words out loud and then hearing them can be helpful.
Don’t worry about looking foolish reading. You’ll be happy if u do so. It helps you in memorizing.
If you’re in the library or somewhere else you can’t speak aloud, try mouthing the information.

7. Discuss what you are learning or teach someone else


Similar to reading your notes out loud, talking about what you are learning can also help you retain the
information better.
You can either study with a friend or quiz each other, or you can try to teach the material to a parent or
younger sibling.
Using your brain to figure out a way to teach the material to someone else causes you to think about the
material more in-depth and analytically.
You will be able to figure out which materials you need to further study if you have a difficult time
teaching the concept to someone else.

8. Write out what you have to memorize


Putting pen to paper and either taking notes on what you’ve read or simply re-writing over and over a
formula or concept you’re trying to master can really help.
It can also be helpful to write out an outline of the materials you are trying to learn. Just the process of
organizing the materials in a visual manner can help your brain recall the information in an organized
manner.
You can also write out flashcards with important facts, dates, or formulas on them.
If you’re reading, summarize each paragraph in the margins. You are in effect teaching it to yourself
when you summarize and analyze it.

9. Take a practice test


If you can locate a practice exam or one used in the past, this can be a good tool for figuring out what you
have mastered and which topics you still need to study.
Remember not to limit your studies to only those items found on the practice exam.
Odds are, your test will include all of the information you’ve been assigned to study, not just questions
you found on a previous or practice test.

10. Utilizing Memory Aids


Master mnemonic devices. These are memory tools that help you recall things such as names, dates, and
facts through turning that information into a memorable rhyme, word, or sentence.
For instance, you can remember the names of the Great Lakes (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, and
Superior) by remembering the word HOMES.
The first letter of the name of each lake is used to create that new word. Another example of a common
mnemonic is the name “Roy G. Biv,” which correlates with the colors of the rainbow: red, orange,
yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

11. be creative
Use the first letter of a group of words you’re trying to remember and make a silly sentence or phrase
with words that start with the same letters.
Create rhymes for what you are trying to remember. Rhymes are a type of mnemonic device that use
audio (sound) information to help remember things.
In other words, the rhymes are easily linked together for us by their sound. Think about this classic
rhyme: “In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.”
Try to organize the information or list of words you’re trying to remember into a rhyme.
