To help you remember the formulas you just studied, practice using them. To ensure that the material is still fresh in your memory, try to complete the problems the day of the lecture. Complete whatever assignments your teacher may have given you, or look for any unanswered questions at the conclusion of your textbook. Try your hardest to answer the questions from memory without consulting a source to gauge how well you remember the material.[1]
Try searching online for the idea you just learnt followed by "example problems" to locate some if your textbook doesn't offer any.
When you have some spare time, take a knowledge test. Put the names of formulas, vocabulary terms, and any other key ideas on your flashcards, then write the solutions on the back. Try your hardest to answer the question on one of your flashcards without turning it over. Once you believe you have answered the question correctly, check your answer on the back of the flashcard.[2]
Flipping a flashcard should be delayed if you are unsure of the answer. Before you check, make a sincere effort to search your memory for the solution.
Use a chart to connect ideas so that you may practice remembering exam content. Start by placing the primary subject you're reviewing in the middle or at the top of the page. Next, list the major points and concepts and draw lines connecting them to the subject. Continue expanding on the new material you've jotted down by adding definitions and pertinent details you can still recall. Prior to verifying the information in your textbook, try to jot down as much of the subject as you recall.[3]
By practicing recalling the material, you increase your chances of remembering it on the test.
To test your understanding, act as though you are teaching the content. Assume you are explaining the scientific idea to a person who is unfamiliar with it. Put all the person would need to know about the subject in writing or explain it aloud, but make sure your language is simple to comprehend. Verify again that you have all the material in your textbook.[4]
You can gain a deeper knowledge of the subject by reframing it with the aid of this activity.
Try using simpler language again if you used jargon or sophisticated phrases in your explanation. For instance, you may put "the speed of an object in a certain direction" in place of "velocity."
Assign difficult knowledge to nonsense phrases and acronyms. If you find it difficult to recall a lengthy list of ideas, consider utilizing the first letter of each thought to create a humorous statement. To make a list of difficult words easier to memorize, you can simply just condense it to just the first letter of each word. You're more likely to remember the statement later on since you're seeing it rather than reading it out.
Saying something like "Happy Henry Likes Beer But Could Not Obtain Food" could help you recall the chemical symbols for the first nine elements in the periodic table.
To determine what you need to review, try solving some test problems. Seek out study materials or mock exams from your teacher, or search online and at the back of your textbook for quizzes. Without consulting the answers, try to provide the best response you can to the questions. To ensure you remember the material, check your answers and go over the material you studied during your study session when you're done.[5]
As the length of time it will take you to finish the exam, set a timer. You can then figure out how much time you have fo
r each question.
