Hi im terrible at memorizing things when it came to my exams i didnt do that bad. Just try to understand it first then maybe section it by paragraph and try to memorize each section then try to write it from memory. Use highlighter too they always help with me x Good Luck xx

You don't need to memorize immediately. You must understand what you are reading or studying. Understand and familiarize the concepts before you could memorize. Memorizing is not learning.

I heard Ginkgobiloba is a nice plant supplement to take regularly to improve short term memory, which is over a long period of time, so that might not help within a week. Making flash cards works for some people, I like to rewrite my notes on a white board, teaching the information to friends or classmates in a study group would work well also. Also, from now on, it might do you some good to study in bits everyday instead of cramming all that information for the next week.

hello when i was still studying what i do in memorizing things especially in enumeration type of exam is to divide it by smaller numbers then bit by bit i memorize it and when i finally memorized the small part i will recite it from the start until i finish it all..did you get me? or i need to explain it further? you can do it just concentrate and do not let things distract you..
