Many have a question. I read with so much time, I sit at the reading table all day, but why I do not remember to read before the exam?
A lot depends on how you actually read. Many people study for less time than you and come up with good answers in the exam. This means that the idea that you will do well in the exam if you study for a long time is wrong.
Again, it is not entirely true that those who are doing better than you are much more talented than you. In fact, how you do the exam or how well you remember to read depends entirely on how you are reading.
Your progress depends on the type of reading you do;
For this, you need to change your traditional reading style a bit. Excluding the habit of continuous reading should be accustomed to a slightly different but fun type of study. In this article we will discuss those issues.
1. Taking note of lecture notes in the notebook
I start by picking up the lecture notes of the class. There are many people in the class who take what they write on the teacher's board to the notebook. He pays less attention to what the teacher says or explains. As a result, important things are not remembered when you look back at the lecture notes. Even if you take notes in a notebook with a lot of attention, you will have trouble understanding the next reading because you will not listen to the important words with your mind.
Important points should only be written down when taking lecture notes;
You can take a different approach to this. Instead of writing down the whole class, you can write down the magnet part of the lecture. Writing short keywords also helps you to remember them later. Change the way class notes are taken and pay more attention to the teacher's lectures.
2. The important part of the book is stained
When reading a new chapter, many people mark the information that they think is important with colored ink. It is easy to see the important things before the test or at other times.
But most of the time, the mistake we make is stigmatizing what seems important the first time we read it. It shows that after reading, we get so much information that most of it is useless. As a result, the really important information is covered. And as a result of scattering too much information, it is not possible to find out what is really important information when needed.
The whole subject should be read once, stained a second time;
The best advice to avoid this problem is to read the whole chapter for the first time without any fuss. Once you have read it, take a second look at it and then highlight the important things. The advantage of this is that the unnecessary things will not be highlighted and reading it twice will increase the idea about the chapter.
3. Keep reading content imaginative
Is it easy to memorize a subject perfectly, or is it easy to describe it by looking at an image? Suppose you are describing the plastid part of a plant cell. Now if you can memorize the structure of the plastid directly and say it as accurately as you can or remember, looking at the image of the plastid will increase the chances of being able to remember the correct information.
Remember images without memorizing;
All you have to do is remember the plastid image. By looking at the picture you can tell the description of the outer skin of the plastid, the inner skin, the granum disc. In other cases too, it is easier to describe by looking at pictures than by memorizing.
4. Loki theory
Sherlock Holmes must have seen it. There is no problem even if you have not seen We are not putting Sherlock Holmes on the reading table. Rather I will discuss his type of thinking. Those who are Sherlock fans must be familiar with the word 'Mind Palace'.
As soon as he saw an object or a person, Sherlock began to think about him. He continues to observe the person or object thoroughly. At the same time, he kept thinking about what his next step would be. This world of Sherlock's thought is called the 'Mind Palace'.
But in reality it has another name. That is the 'folk theory'. The point of this theory is that when you read a subject, you also use your imagination.
Suppose you are reading a novel or prose. Then integrate the world of your imagination with the content of that text. If the content of the text can be memorized as a picture, it can be easily remembered and less likely to be forgotten. That is why this folklore theory has a special value for perpetuating memories.
5. Memorize with symbolic rhythm
Many people became acquainted with this rhythm while learning the unit of measurement as a child. "Peace will be found in the country if the robbers are killed by chasing them." This means ‘Kilo Hecta Deca Meter Deci Centi Milli’. This rhythm was used to memorize the periodic order of the units of measurement. Similarly there is a rhythm to remembering the style of the Mughal emperors. ‘Dad had a fever once, Sarilo took medicine’. That is ‘Babar, Humayun, Akbar, Jahangir, Shahjahan, Aurangzeb’. Such rhythms are also used to memorize the order of the elements of the periodic table.
Use such rhythm :
The advantage of this is that on the one hand there is pleasure in reading, on the other hand the reading stays in the memory much more.
6. Read the same subject over and over again
Most likely this advice is given everywhere to make reading permanent in memory. Repeated reading does not mean reading what you have read a few more times and then forgetting. Repeated reading means taking a look at what was in the previous topic or chapter before starting a new topic or chapter.
No subject can be left for examination once read
If there is a long break after reading something, it is likely to be forgotten. Many people don't even think about it once they have read a chapter until the exam. This makes it more likely that the chapter will be forgotten before the test.
So it is advisable to take a look at the previous chapter before starting a new one. As a result, the previous reading is rebuilt in the head at least once, which is more permanent in the memory.
Two types of memory work in our brain based on time. One is transient and the other is chronic. Transient memory lasts from a few seconds to the time you are working or reading. And long-term memories can last from a few days to a lifetime. The main purpose of the above 6 tips is to transform your reading from transient memory to long lasting memory. This will make you less likely to forget to read.
It is very useful in exam. Thanks for sharing.
