I use the help of the Holy Spirit…the Holy Spirit should never be underestimated when it comes to memorising things. Mnemonics and visualisation are also very good 👍

I like to make myself flash-cards with questions/words on the front and answers/definitions on the back. That way I can test myself with active recall

While trying to memorize during studying, I firstly try to vividly visualizer the concept, like what is actually happening. For example in case of electricity in physics, I try to see how actually the current is flowing through the solenoid and so on. Secondly in pure memorization, I try to read it more like a story, like this happened after this at this time, and I found it suits me well.

Many times, it’s repetition. It drills what ever you are memorizing into your mind. Another tool I use is memorizing right before I go to sleep. It’s really efficient so that when I wake up, it’s still on my mind.

A get ready routine: i put my books on the table, pick up my favorite tools and put on pink noise (I heard it’s good for memorization) ofcourse i put my phone away, but to motivate this i turn on Forest so I can plant a tree while studying. Thank you for reading my reply :D!

1-Throw distractions out of the room ( phone) 2- Clean the mind from everything negative and focus on the material infront of me 3- Repeat until memorizing and if literal memorizing isn’t possible then understanding the idea is enough . 4- Take a break every 2 hours . 5-Pretend that you are interested in the material even if you are not . 6- Write down the titles .

Copying down notes and explaining a concept to myself using my own words and my own analogies. The second option is more helpful in memorizing topics for longer as you already understand what you are studying. This is how I can still recall key ideas from my sociology classes that I can still apply relevantly in my everyday life now.

Surely I don’t use memorizing tools. I mostly use memorizing tips like managing time , doing past papers ,watching videos related to get a better understanding and so on.. I rarely use memorizing tools but using sticky notes and using a book for short notes seems a great idea..and one thing that mostly help me with studying is motivational quotes. I have tons of them so everytime I feel like giving up I look at them which get me motivated That way I’ll be motivated and focused 😊

I don’t really use any specific methods I just find that highlighting the keywords and giving myself time is really the best way for me to memorize. Also it is better not to do any last minute studying finish everything before hand and revise the few days before the exams

I try to get a basic understanding of things and then test myself. I mostly do that with flashcards. Also i rewrite some of my notes – just pretty yk and that kinda motivates me.
