Thank you for your question.
Below are my suggestions :
1. Review the material covered in the class everyday. If you have any question, ask the teacher in next class
2. Memorize the material again and again every day
3. Read the material aloud
4. Do dictation on the material
Make the above as your study habits. Don't wait to start memorizing material before the assessment.
Hope this helps! Good Luck!
May Almighty God bless you!

Hi Sophia,
Me too. I had a tough time in school memorizing so much. I found that flash cards helped a lot. First, the mere act of writing down a fact is one "swipe" at the fact. Then seeing/re-reading it is another. Sometimes I would even write two sets of flash cards because the act of writing the fact(s) really helped a lot. Bonus was if anyone was around to run through the flash cards with me, otherwise, I'd just run through them again and again by myself.
It's a similar concept as to when I meet someone for the first time. I am terrible at remembering names, so I repeat their name out loud, maybe more than once so it sticks. Something like, "Hi, Nick, nice to meet you. Nick, I think I saw you in lab last week; do you have Rayburn for Bio?
So for me, it's the repetition that seems to work. My other go-to was making a song or rhyme using the facts or words that I was supposed to be learning/memorizing. Silly but worked for me.
Best of luck!

Hi Sophia! Like Melissa said, there are lots of study habits you can try. What's important is finding what works best for you. Here are some helpful tips to consider.
- Always have enough sleep, memory reinforcement happens when we sleep.
- Try different schedules and see which suits you better based on your energy levels and sustained concentration.
- Help your brain set for a studying session, just as you have certain rituals before going to bed you can do the same before studying, for example, taking a shower and getting dressed, or playing specific music.
- The set up idea also apply for places, be intentional with it, just as your bed is for sleeping you can have specific places for studying.
- Give you brain time to process information, set time for yourself and don't forget that habits take practice. Enjoy the ride!

Melissa’s Answer
There are many great study habits you can try to boost your memory and make learning more fun and effective.
1) Spaced repetition - Review your notes at different times instead of trying to learn everything in one go. This helps you remember things for a long time.
2) Active recall - Quiz yourself on what you've learned instead of just reading it again. This makes your memory stronger.
3) Teach someone else - Explaining what you've learned to another person helps you understand it better and remember it longer.
4) Use mnemonics - Create simple acronyms or rhymes to help you remember details. For instance, "HOMES" can help you recall the Great Lakes: Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, and Superior.
5) Handwrite your notes - Writing by hand helps your brain engage more than typing, which makes it easier to remember your notes.
6) Visualization - Picture the information in your mind. Your brain is great at remembering images, so this can be a powerful tool.

Yes this was something I face every day. A few things that have helped me in the past:
1 . Read and re-read the content a couple of times
2. Try to write it down in small chunks.
3. Teach to someone else
4. Try to associate a few things with some pics, events, something that you can easily remember
5. Try to repeat the content in front of a mirror
Hope some of this works for you too.

Learning how to study is a great question. I have some tips that worked for me.
1. Initially you have to learn how to comprehend what you are reading. You do this by asking yourself questions about what you just read. Read over and over.
2, Equations I always took a mental picture of the formuls and when I received the test I wrote the formulas on my test paper.
3. Become a master of reading/comprehension.
4. Note taking skill is helpful.
5. Learn just the important words.
6. After studying and right before you go to bed read over the material.
7. When you wake up reread the material. This is the best skill, you will learn the material while you are asleep. ;)
Great question and you are very smart knowing that you need to learn how to study.
