5 Study Tips to Improve Your Memory for
your First Midterm!
1.
Speak
Out Loud Instead of Simply Reading
Sometime reading can become a
mindless activity and you zone-out and skip over passages instead of actually
reading them. Reading aloud solves that
problem.
2.
Reward
Yourself With A Treat
Always reward yourself with
small treats as you conquer study milestones.
Like completing an outline, finish briefing all your cases or just
working for a set number of hours, a small treat will be a great boost to start
your next cycle of studying!
3.
Teach
What You Have Learned
Grab a classmate and teach
them the latest topic you’ve mastered.
Not only will it help you retain the material, your classmate will get
the benefit of working with you.
4.
Take
Regular Study Breaks
Don’t study for hours and
hours on end. Every couple of hours,
take a short walk, watch an episode of your favorite program, or chat with a
friend or family member. Your brain will
appreciate the break!
5.
Practice,
Practice, Practice…
Get copies of previously asked questions,
samples from your professor, or make up questions with a study group. Then
practice writing essays, in test taking conditions (quiet room, no
distractions), and time yourself. Use an
outline to grade yourself afterwards, or exchange answers with a classmate and
help grade each other.
