We have reviewed general study skills and some specific strategies to help remember things better. Try some of these strategies and see what works best for you.
Also, be creative! Try studying with a friend, doing a project, or making a song or rap to remember the material for a test.
Remember, learning new information is hard work! Developing good study skills requires lots of practice. Think of your brain as a muscle, it needs to exercise to get stronger. Studying, concentrating, and learning new information are all exercise for your brain. But muscles get worn out easily, so don’t overdo it.
Pace yourself!
Remember: it’s a marathon, not a sprint!
