1.)Rehearse- Is the first step. Sit down take some time and go over what you are studying. This technique is not effective soly by itself but is very effective when used with other techniques.
2.)Overlearn- Go over it and over it. Don't just sit down and go over your studies once and think you have mastered it. You didn't learn to ride a bike by just getting on it once did you?!
3.)Space it out- You can't cram yourself crazy. Take a break and space things out.
4.)Feel- Using your emotions and memories and help greatly, hoe does it remind you of something in your past present or future that can help you relate to your subject of study
5/6)Connect/Personalize- Use things that interest you to help you relate to what you are studying. What do you enjoy doing that can help you realte to your studies.
7.)Mark it up- Be an active reader you have to associate with what you are doing. You have to interact with the text.
8.)Mark it down-Don't forget to write it down. Jotting things on paper will greatly help you, you just have to remember what/where you put your paper.
9.)Organize- you have to stay organized. Don't write things down and lose them. I tend to do that often. Make sure to keep up with your notes and keep your studies organized.
10.)Produce- Put things in your own words. Associate it how it relates to you and you better understand it.
11.)Mock it- Can you make it funny. To me funny things are just easier to remember. If you can make it funny doing so will help you remember it.
I hope the options I have given you above will help you be able to better memorize. Your studies can get hard but remember not to let it get to overwhelming take a break and relax but don't forget what you have already memorized.
