Hello everyone, i have been quite inactive lately and i deeply apologize but as well as most of us i am sure the majority is being pressured by the final days of school(Or school in general). Speaking of final days of school, this also means big tests, exams, projects, etc. And sadly, for several subjects this means memorizing dates and characters/important figures, which i am quite bad at memorizing such and i would really appreciate if you guys could share methods for memorizing or improving memory.

What I usually do is re-read everything again no matter how basic it is. Over and over again until everything is understood, then link everything some way. In Chemistry, everything is related so that's simple. In physics, study the equations from your data booklet (if it is they give you one) they are very useful and you can figure out a question by just looking at it. In Maths, good luck bro. In History, read everything as usual and then imagine it on your head like this: In ____ the ___ revolution happen because ___ which lead to ____, causing ___. In consequence ___ and overall ___ (The more links the better). There is no easy way of improving memory from a day to the next, its impossible, that's why you have to pay attention in class fully. Trust me, it happened to me. I struggled because I couldn't focus in class and now I remember most of the stuff because I know they WILL be important, and pay attention. Hope this helps

If you're really struggling, i'd suggest making revision notes but only including the most basic things at first, the stuff you can't go without e.g. speed=distance/time. Once you feel confident with the basics, a few extra things in more detail aren't so daunting as you can focus more on them. For example, for geography, we need case study details but we'd been given pages for each topic. Some friends and I skinned all of the information down to its most basic, with the stuff that was easy to remember (such as the date of the Sendai earthquake, how many died etc.) and then we got stuff down that was a little harder. In the end, we more than halved the information that we were given but it was more than enough. (Draco's thing about filling in blanks is also a good one)
