Tips On How To Read Without Forgetting

A common fear among students is to enter the exam room and immediately experience your brain emptying itself of every fact you’ve studied. To overcome this fear and really help yourself remember what you’ve learned, it is useful to use a wide range of study tips and tricks. You will be surprised to see how easy it can be to remember difficult concepts and multiple dates once you establish good study habits, use some active learning tips to really cement the information in your brain, and use memory tricks to help make remembering easier.
Method One of Three:
Planning for Success
Approach studying in a positive manner. If you crack open the books while in a bad mood about having to study, you won’t have an effective study session. However, if you are motivated about what you are about to learn, you will have an easier time learning it and remembering it come test time.
[1]
Don’t tell yourself, “I’m never going to learn this.”

Be patient with yourself as you try to master new material.
Create and stick to a good study schedule. Take the time to think about when you are most alert and able to concentrate. For some, this may be immediately after school. Others may be more productive if they take a break after school and relax a bit before opening the books. Regardless of when you choose to study, you will retain more information if you study a bit each day (for 30 to 60 minutes at a time) rather than cramming at the last minute.
 [2]
Remember to incorporate breaks into your study schedule. 

Breaks give your brain a chance to absorb what you just studied.
During your break, it is helpful to take a short walk or get some fresh air to help clear your mind.
[3]
Pick a good place to study.

 You need to find a quiet space free of distractions, such as a library or an isolated area of your house. By having an area devoted to studying, your brain will become used to calming down and absorbing material once you get there.
Keep a set of materials near your study space, such as books, paper, pens, highlighters, a calculator, and so on.
If you need a computer for your research or studies, you can utilize an app to block specific websites for a certain period of time. That way, you won’t be tempted to check social media accounts or news feeds when you should be studying instead.
[4]
Stay organized.

Disorganized notes or a messy study room can be enemies to your memory. By creating order in your environment, you foster order in your mind, so you can better memorize facts and recall them later.
[5]
Get enough sleep.

When you sleep, your brain converts facts from short-term memory to long-term memory. Even a short nap can help with this process.[6]
If you study in the afternoon and don’t have time for a nap then, review your notes or flashcards at night before going to bed.
Aim to get 9 hours of sleep each night, the optimal level for adolescents. The recommended sleep range for adults is between 7 and 9 hours

POLITICS Atiku Blows Hot, Says Buhari’s Statement Inciting To Electoral Violence The Presidential candidate of the  Peoples Democratic Party  (PDP),  Atiku Abubakar , has lambasted  President Muhammadu Buhari  for saying that ballot-box snatchers will pay with their lives. In a statement on Monday by his media aide, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku said Buhari’s statement shows that the  “retired general”  is only showing his true colours and “complete” disregard for the country’s law. The statement read:  “We were shocked to hear General Buhari live on national television threatening to kill people for an offense where no such proscription exists under law. The last time we looked the death-penalty was not a sanction of the 2010 election ac “In fact, threatening people with death in the context of an election is an incitement to electoral violence, which is an offense under that act. “Once again General Buhari is showing his true colours and c...

Eddie Howe blames defeat on Bournemouth players

Eddie Howe refused to blame anyone but his own players for their 5-1 hammering at Arsenal, saying "every aspect" let them down. Howe's men matched their worst away run in 85 years - nine straight league defeats - with a 5-1 thrashing at the Emirates on Wednesday night, having trailed from the fourth minute in north London. The timing of the opening goal, scored inside four minutes by Mesut Ozil, particularly irked Howe after he had called his side "exciting" pre-game, and he said: "They were too good for us, it was a difficult night. We never truly recovered from the start, and it was uncharacteristic. "I don't think we were good in any aspect of the game, with or without the ball, mentality wasn't great, it's been disappointing and we need to reflect on it honestly. " Despite their performance, Bournemouth found themselves back within a goal of their hosts at the interval after Lys Mousset's goal on the half-hour...
