- Always divide the learning material into small portions. This way you will have more successes when you have completed a portion of the material.
- Take regular breaks from learning: You can only concentrate for a maximum of 45 minutes, and anything you learn after that will no longer be “stored”.
- Try to think of mnemonic devices as often as possible. For example, to remember the year. This will make it easier for you to recall what you have learned.
- Use different colours for your notes!
- Reward yourself when you have done something. This makes learning much more fun!
- For example, write down vocabulary or formulas a few times.
- Keep your workspace as tidy as possible. Anything that could distract you from learning has no place on your desk.
- Say out loud what you need to learn.
- If you are learning new vocabulary, it is best to memorise a whole sentence containing the word.
- If you can’t remember something, write it down on a piece of paper and hang it up at home. This way, you will unconsciously read it over and over again and remember it easily.
