Memory
 Practice
You
can
develop
your
memory
-
just
use
it
more!
Get
to
know
your
subject
more
closely.
This
will
help
you
to
remember
its
important
details.
Not
many
subjects
require
you
to
memorise
lots
of
facts.
It's
more
important
to
know where and how to
find
information.
In
exams
you
need
to
think
carefully
and
explain
yourself
clearly.
Mind
maps
If
you
need
help
to
remember
things
-
try
'mind
maps'.
Draw
a
diagram
which
shows
the
main
topics
of
your
subject.
Put
each
topic
in
a
separate
box.
Make
lists
into
which
new
details
can
be
fitted.
For
example,
make
a
list
of
events
in
a
historical
period.
Wall
charts
can
be
helpful
here.
Revision
A
review
of
your
course
will
help
you
to
remember
the
details.
Good
notes
help
you
grasp
the
main
points
of
a
subject.
Look
over
your
notes
regularly.
Summarise
your
notes
and
course
topics
onto
index
cards.
Carry
these
around,
and
refresh
your
memory
during
short
breaks.
Mnemonics
Mnemonics
can
help
you
to
recall
information.
[You
say
it
without
the
first
'm',
by
the
way.]
You
remember
one
thing
by
means
of
another.
Here
is
a
well
known
example
from
music.
The
notes
on
the
lines
are
E,G,B,D,F.
You
can
remember
these
as
'Every Good Boy Deserves Favour'
.
Keep
it
simple.
Mnemonics
need
to
be
short,
sharp,
and
effective.
Layout
Lots
of
people
have
a
very visual memory.
You
remember
the
shape
of
words
on
a
page.
You
can
also
write
things
as
symbols
or
pictures.
Clear
layout
of
your
notes
can
help
you
to
remember
the
contents. |
