Worried
about up-coming exams?
· Remember it is easier to
relearn material that is already familiar. Try to look at the
material a number of times over and extended period of time.
·
Sleep plays an important role in building memory circuits. Going to
sleep directly after learning something often helps.
·
Ask a parent or friend to test you on material from a study guide.
·
Write it down. By writing down what you need to remember you are
reinforcing the memory.
· You remember better if your
surroundings are similar to when you were learning. If possible study
in the same or a similar place to where you will be tested.
·
Take regular short breaks (5 min) every 30 min or so and a change in
surroundings, when you go back to your work, see how much you can
remember.
· Take an interest in what you are learning,
when it is interesting you will find it is easier to remember. Look
for things that are interesting to you about the subject you are
revising.
