What are some way you guys remember your stuff? Is it reading your notes 30 minutes before you sleep? Or asking questions to your notes, in order to understand further? List some of the ways!

Reciting it into a chant works semi well.

Review every day.

For how long?

 

[dirty_ink]

I'd say a minimum of twenty minutes without any distractions.

depending on what kind of learner you are
visual- diagram based notes, posters, sticky notes which makes you actually visualise the info
verbal- recite, listen to recorded notes

You forgot about the 'brute force learner'......just read and read and read an read it a thousand times until you learn it.....don't move on to the next line until you can remember it..

hey hey, go easy on your brain

yeah, this is one of the best studying techniques for remembering your content - you just pretend you're teaching someone via explaining the links

haha, I get into the mode too, full with hand gestures. Sometimes I bring in the whiteboard for special effects

1. Write it.
2. Look at it.
3. Explain its links.
4. Write it again.

This really did work for me. With this approach, you are not only solidifying it into your memory, but are also continuously repeating the thought processes that lead you to recall that perfectly memorized answer. Memorize but also follow up with free verse explanations to yourself without looking at the material to ensure a holistic and strongly linked understanding of your text! Cheers!
