1. Spaced Repetition Technique
Study
in short sessions, spread out over time. For example: review something today,
then tomorrow, then in 3 days. This is called "spacing" and is one of
the most powerful methods for long-term information retention.
>
Quote: According to a study from the University of California, spaced
repetition improves memory by 50% compared to intensive studying in a single
session.
2. Sleep Well
Your
brain consolidates what you study when you sleep. Getting 7-8 hours of sleep improves
concentration, creativity, and memory.
>
Fact: Sleeping less than 6 hours can reduce your memory retention by up to 40%,
according to Harvard Health.
3. Use the loci technique (memory palace)
Associate
each idea with a place in your mental home. It's an ancient technique, even
used by Roman orators.
Example:
associate a formula with the entrance to your house, a date with your armchair,
etc.
4. Teach what you learn
If you
can explain it, you understand it. Teach it to someone else, even if you just
say it out loud to yourself. This activates other areas of the brain and
reinforces your memory.
5. Movement and Study
Walking
while you study activates motor memory. Changing places or even using gestures
also helps.
>
Tip: Use review cards while taking a short walk. You'll be surprised by the
results.
Conclusion:
It's
not about studying more, but about studying better. These 5 tricks can help you
excel, pass with less effort, and, above all, feel confident in what you learn.
