SUMMARY
- Your brain is like a hard drive — the space is limited. Remember Sherlock Holmes? He couldn’t name all the planets of the Solar system — this was not because he missed school or something like that, but because he was too smart to have such irrelevant information in his memory. He deliberately erased facts he would never need. This is what your brain does: it protects you from overloading with information. That’s why all new data is stored in the short-term memory, not the long-term one. So, if you don’t repeat it or use it, you forget it very quickly.
A German psychologist, Hermann Ebbinghaus researched the memory and its mechanisms. He described the Forgetting Curve which shows that just one hour after learning something new we forget more than half of the learned information. One day later we remember only about 30% percent. Well, you see where this is going.
- There is a memorization technique called «Spaced repetition». To keep some information in your head for a longer time, you need to try to put it into your long-term memory. Forced memorization is not very effective in this case because your brain can’t make sense of the information quickly and form strong associations. Here it all depends on the reason why you are learning something.
- To memorize something quickly, repeat the information right after learning it.
The second repetition should be after 15-20 minutes.
You don’t need to return to the information between repetitions — just rest and do something different. Let your brain relax.
Repeat the learned material the third time after 6-8 hours.
And you should have the final repetition 24 hours after the first contact with the information.

What i recently found useful was, three steps :
1. Understand the concept with full concentration
2. Write it out in your own words, like teaching someone or yourself
3. Record an audio of explaining yourself whatever you had written

And now after few days if you take and read the notes along with audio, it just takes less time to recall everything and obviously it stays in your mind for long

Note: for all this you need to actually study and have interest in studying

i am an Indian student currently in my last year of school. I am preparing for jee advanced, an examination to get admission into one of the most renowned and respected colleges of India. I have been preparing for it from last 1.5 years. I have been taught by many teachers. All they said in common to every student in my batch was to revise again and again the concepts in intervals of weeks, months and sometimes just days. so i can confirm that the ways shown here really work. In layman terms, we can consider that each revision is like a shell of information or data . the more you revise something, the thicker the shell gets and you remember it for a longer time. One more tip that can give from my side is that before studying have at least an hour as a gap between the last time you used phone, tv or something grabbing your attention (like music). this way you will be able to concentrate better and your productivity and speed will increase.




PS: It really works for me. Hope you yes you stranger :) too find it useful. have a nice day

I memorize 90% of what I studied before the exam starts, but the main problem is that, what I studied is not part of the exam.

Brain has unlimited space!!
We remember so many things without any efforts.
Some times we remember many older memories, but we forget recently happened things

Another effective method is to 'teach' the information you just learned to others. This is one reason why teachers can eventually explain various topics without referring to any text. The more you teach others, the more you will remember the information. For example, if you have a study group, have each group member take turns teaching the others about a certain topic.

What I know is that you cant keep studying for 5 hours no break, you need to do something else because you'll forget it if you keep going over and over on the same subject.

From me hope it helps also:
1) hydrate yourself
2)chew gums( different flavors while learning)
3)change your place of learning once a week
4)Do breathing exercises
5) write not type
6)sleep early and sleep when you're feeling sleepy ( don't force yourself)
7)clean your room, your place for learning
8) take shower.
9) Don't forget to eat healthy and don't ever skip your meals ( eat 3 times a day)

In India, the most significant way of learning is to learn things in early morning about 4-6 am and this is the best time period of learning .

If you love anything (physical, abstract..) you will have a long memory of them. It all boils down to interest/love for that subject.
