Hints for Remembering Better

1. Understand thoroughly what is to be remembered and/or memorized

2. Spot what is to be memorized verbatim. It is a good plan to use a special marking symbol in text and notebook to indicate parts and passages, rules, data, and all other information that is to be memorized instead of just understood and remembered

3. If verbatim memory is required, go over the material or try to repeat at odd times.

4. Think about what you are trying to learn. Find an interest in the material if you wish to memorize it with ease.

5. Study first the items that you want to remember longest.

6. Learn complete units at one time, as that is the way it will have to be recalled.

7. Overlearn to make certain.

8. Analyze material and strive to intensify the impressions the material makes.

9. Use concrete imagery whenever possible. Close your eyes and get a picture of the explanation and summary answer. Try to see it on the page. See the key words underlined.
