Ever worry about those tests that require so much space in your memory? Do you worry about those subjects that have teachers who give the objective type of tests? Well, we cannot have ways to change these kinds of tests. But one could devise ways to ace these kinds of exams.

You might envy people who remember lots of things. You can have two persons who study the same subject, same number of pages, same number of hours, but when the results of the test comes, one gets a way higher grade than the other. Here are ways to improve your memory. These are sure to be of use to you and to others.
a) This may be tiring, but give more time to your reading rather than plain cramming.
If you give more time to reading the subject matter of the upcoming examination, you are sure to store more knowledge into your brain compared to just studying a night before or an hour before an exam. If you are not the type of person who easily uncovers the stored memory from the teacher's discussion, you should practice this.
If you read beforehand, you tend to be able to understand more of the subject. That is because when you are cramming, one is forcing in the hundreds of terms in the memory for a short amount of time.
b) Say what you are studying to yourself.
When studying, people usually read and keep saying things over and over again within the mind. Why don't you try saying it loudly? Saying what you are studying out loud after you read it helps because it is like discussing things to yourself. It is one way of knowing if you actually kept in mind anything you just read and another way of assessing if you understood anything.
c) Loosen up before studying so you can concentrate on your studying.
Nothing sticks to your head if it is too preoccupied with other things. You have to say, like Squidward Tentacles in Spongebob would say, "Empty your mind." You should take that suggestion so that you could concentrate on your studying.
The more space you have on that brain of yours, the more you are sure to remember. Instead of thinking about what you should say to your lover the next morning, you should worry about how you are going to answer those questions on the examination paper.
d) Do not overdo it! Sleep if you have to.
If you have a long set of chapters or notes to study, you do not have to force yourself to know every single detail to ace the exam. It would be wonderful if you are able to study everything, but if you are having a hard time, you should give yourself a break.
If you think about it, forcing something inside a container would not work. The things you were trying to force inside, let's say, a jar, would eventually pop out of it. So study, but respect your body.- homeschoolingcatalog.com |
