How do i stop myself forgetting things that ive learnt in exams

i find that even if i revise something thoroughly and i know everything i need, i forget it during the actual test. its so frustrating because i know that ive learnt it and after the exam i kick myself on how i shouldve known the answer.

hey there,

would you say it's a stress related thing? if so, i can relate, i'd suggest some breathing techniques and defo taking care of the basic things like sleep and eating well.

additionally, spaced out repetition and active recall throughout the course could be helpful, if you learn the content just for that one exam your brain might just forget that, but if u practice it regularly it sticks better and you'd be less likely to forget it

i'm not really sure how u revise but i hope this helps :smile:
