Every student eventually has to face the task of taking a test. While some students may glide right through, others may struggle and have trouble when the time comes. If you take the time and plan it right, you can memorize notes for a test and by the time the test comes, you could be getting an "A" in no time.
Instructions
1. Before you even crack open the book, you need to be in the right environment to be able to study. Try to eliminate any distractions, especially electronics that may cause you to deviate from your studying.
2. If you like a little music to help relax you when you are studying then you should play tracks that have no lyrics, you may find yourself singing or listening along.
3. Also try to avoid studying in your bed because your body naturally gets into a rest mode in your bed and you may easily find yourself sleepy as you try to study.
4. Even though you may have notes already, note taking again will help you learn and process the information more. Copy a line or two from the textbook or existing notes and then read them over. It may sound like a long process, but you will begin a flow and the studying will be over before you know it.
5. Use memory tricks like giving words different meanings. For example if you are studying the first three months, January, February, and March, you could help remember the names and orders by making a sentence like Jimmy Feeds Mice. If it is something catchy or unusual, then you can recall that information for the test.
6. Take breaks every half hour and refresh yourself. You do not want to overload yourself with so much information that you lose track, so take a short break, briefly go over what you just did and then begin new notes.
7. Repeat things multiple times until you can recall them without looking down. Do this by sentence or definition, because repeating a whole paragraph would take way too long and not make much sense.
8. Once you feel like you have got the material down, quiz yourself or have somebody quiz you on the material. Find your weak spots and continue to study them until you feel confident about the test.
