Academic Tips
Memory usually fails because of an initial lack of focus, material was not learned in its context, and lack of motivation. Here are some useful tips to help your memory: "If you can teach something, you know it." Use your study sessions as if you are going to teach the material. You will then come away with a solid understanding and improved memory of the material.
Effective listening in class involves hearing, processing, acknowledging, reacting and assimilating. These active “listening” and engaging in class will also help your memory.
Avoid marathon and/or last minute study sessions. Cramming is not conducive to memorization.
Break big tasks into small manageable tasks. Study your difficult (or boring) subjects first, not at the end of the day when you are likely to be more exhausted. Control test anxiety by exercising, taking deep breaths, and using relaxation techniques and positive thinking.
