We all are always learning. No person in the world can say that he knows it all. Some people are genius enough to valve in a lot of information into their brains, and then some people lack the focus and brains to shine out of the crowd.
No matter how brilliant or dull a mind is, there are always human weaknesses to cope with. One of such human weakness is forgetting what you have learned.
Imagine that you have worked very hard for the preparation of one of the most important exams of your life and you need to pass that exam to move forward in your life, you have done everything you can and learned all the lesson properly. But when you are sitting in the examination hall you forget it all; this can be a tough pill to swallow because you have given it your all to prepare for the exam, but right at the judgment day, you seem to have screwed it all.
Forgetting things is quite a normal human attribute. In this article, we will try to give you a few guidelines that you need to follow if you want to learn things without forgetting them. Students especially need to follow these guidelines because their future lies in the power of their memory and they need to take care of it. Here are the things that must be kept in mind.
Write What You Read
It has been scientifically proven that if we are trying to learn something, then writing it down on a piece of paper will be very helpful in that regard.
The chances of remembering some lessons will almost double up if you write that lesson down after reading it and memorizing it. It will help you to transfer that information into your brain’s memory part, and it is going to stay there for much longer periods.
So, the first advice to all the students out there is to make sure to make notes of your lessons and write down as much information as possible. This technique is surely going to help you in the examination hall.
Revise With Regularity
A lot of students tend to make a very basic mistake, and that is they do not revise their lessons. They memorize it for once, and then they think that they know it all about the topic and do not need to have another look at the book.
A human brain is a complex machine, and it has to carry out a lot of functions of the human body, and hence its energy levels are decreased sometimes. If you do not revise a lesson, then that information that you have gathered is going to stay in a part of the brain that helps with short memory. You are going to remember that topic for some time, but it is surely going to vanish away soon, and then you will be left twitching your body and pulling your hair out at the examination hall.
So, the second golden rule for the students to learn without forgetting is to revise the lessons with regularity. The more they are going to revise, the longer it is going to stay in your mind.
Be Confident
A lot of students have a major problem of lack of belief in their abilities, and they almost suffer from a sort of anxiety and depression.
Such students seem to be afraid of exams, and although they are hardworking and bright students throughout the year when the real deal starts and they sit on that hot seat of exam, they tend to forget all that they have known.
The reason is that the nervous energy in them overcomes the positive energy in their body, and they forget everything they have learned just because of lack of confidence in their abilities. This mental block needs to be broken down if such students want to progress in life, and the only way to go through this block is to give exams again and again.
When we are up against the wall and pushed to the corner then we only have two options. One is to face the fear and fight it to beat it and the second one is just to run away. Running away from responsibilities as a student means career destruction and surely no one wants that to happen.
So, the third advice is to remain confident and calm at the examination hall and enjoy the experience.
If a student follows these guidelines mentioned above, there is no reason why memory power will not increase. As the memory power of the students will increase, the grades will move up automatically for sure.
