This will help you in remembering all the details and also, in a sequence. It is also easier to remember when you draw diagrams. Visualizing information makes remembering easy! Creating mental associations is the fuel of creativity and intelligence. So, create mental associations.
- Take Down Notes – whenever you start with any topic or subject make it a habit of taking down notes as you are learning it. Notes making help you go through everything you learn during the last hours when you are not left with time to run down the syllabus again. Your notes must contain only important pointers and not too much information. The idea is just to recall things while you go through them sometime again.
- Study as if you are Teaching someone- It is said that teaching is the best way to remember things. This technique will help you plant the new knowledge well and also reinforce existing knowledge! While studying, study as if you were to teach the topic to some other person in simple language. This allows you to ask yourself and will also help you understand the topic in detail. Once you are done reading, try explaining it to someone. If you are able to do it effortlessly, that means you have understood the topic very well and will remember the information for a very long period of time.
- Revision the key to success- Revision is the key to remembering everything that you have studied. Multiple revisions will ensure that the topic is etched in your memory forever. You might spend 3 hours learning about a new topic for the first time. In the first revision, you will be able to complete the topic in less than 3 hours, in the third revision, the time taken becomes lesser and so on. This will also help in allowing your thoughts to flow coherently even while you are writing the exam.
