Summary of HOW TO MEMORIZE FAST AND RETAIN LONGER?

Key Strategies for Memorization and Retention

• Storytelling Technique: Create a narrative that links the information you want to remember. This helps in Visualization and recall.
• Active Learning: Engage with the material actively rather than passively reading. This includes:
  • Deep reading of headings and key points.
  • Summarizing information in your own words.
  • Teaching the concept to someone else to reinforce understanding.
• Note-taking:
  • Prefer handwritten notes over typed ones for better retention.
  • Use coded language and minimal words to summarize concepts.
  • Highlight only the most important points in your notes.
• Spaced Repetition: Revise the material at increasing intervals to enhance retention. Suggested intervals include:
  • Review after 1 day, then 3 days, 1 week, 1 month, and 6 months.
• Self-testing: Regularly test your knowledge using previous year questions (PYQs) to gauge understanding and memory recall.
• Visualization: While reading or studying, visualize scenarios related to the content to enhance memory retention.
• Mindfulness and Focus: Avoid distractions while studying to improve efficiency. Take breaks and engage in physical activities to refresh your mind.
• Application Practice: Apply learned concepts in practical scenarios or problems to reinforce memory and understanding.

Additional Tips
