how to remember

Rewriting notes is a no-go - unless you are summarising and condensing then there’s simply no point. Even then i would argue it doesn’t really help. Even if it sends time consuming, making online flashcards like Quizlet is best for revision. Start doing it now before it’s too late !

hii so i revise everday and for subjects like science since the start of the yr I've been trying to go through all my old topics and now its only been like what 2 3 months I've forgotten what I've revised... everyone says the most inefficient way of revising is to re read notes but I feel like I should start taking down notes and just rereading them atp . should I revisit each topic every week or is that too time consuming ? what should I do ? and quizlet is good but there isn't everything on it that I've revised for like old exam questions I tried to redo ones I did and I couldn't.. pls help

so like for each exam question I get wrong I should make a flash card on quizlet??

ok so once you've revised a certain topic, search for past paper questions on that specific topic. i would reccomend physics and maths tutor, access tuition and tutorzone, and cognito has some pretty good past paper q's too. print out at least 3 tests, and complete the questions straight after your revision. then complete another one 2 weeks after you've revised that topic, then complete the last one 1-2 months after. get in the habit of keeping all that revision material fresh in your brain, because revising it once doesnt mean you're gonna remember it forever. we have so many things to remember so keep doing topics over and over again.
Im currently in year 11 and thats how i revise. flash cards dont seem to help me because they dont really help me for 6 mark questions but they are a really effective way to revise.

no, like for every question you should make a flashcard. things your confident with know, you may not be confident with in a few weeks.
let me explain to you briefly how memory works, and how you can maximise this for revision. ok so you have short-term memory [STM], and long-term memory [LTM]. what you want to be able to do, is to store all the info you want to know in your LTM, which as an unlimited capacity and can stay there forever, but also be able to retrieve it whenever you want. in order to get info from your STM into your LTM, you have to do something called maintenance rehearsal, which is literally just consistently practising. then, in the exam, with practice, you should be able to retrieve this information back into your STM.
does that make a bit more sense as to why you should use flashcards ? it enables you to consistently repeat and rehearse questions, drilling them into you countless times to really ensure they're stuck in your LTM

I have some way that can helps you to learn more easier, but maybe my reply is a little long, please be patience and read it carefully if you want.
1.
When you are during class, please don’t desert.
2.
Must be 100% actively listening and paying attention.
3.
Follow the teacher's slides and talking points.
4.
When you’re listening to the teacher, don’t forget to bring your brain, and thinking about the knowledge, so your hippocampus* will help you remember even if you are resting.
5.
Please take all the important notes, and this is just the first step.
6.
Answer as many questions as possible, when you’re speaking, so you’re remembering.
Now, let’s do the most important part: experiment.
•
Step 1: Open your computer or whatever you can take notes, and don't look your notes that took during the class.
•
Step 2: Think about how to do the second-notes, so when you’re reviewing your notes, you can follow the same form to review.(just use whatever you like.)
•
Step 3: Try your best to recall your first-notes and knowledge of class.
•
Step 4: Write down the knowledge you remember.
•
Step 5: Double check your notes to make sure you didn’t forget anything you wanted to write.
•
Step 6: Open your first note and check if you forgot anything.
This is just one way to take note, and if english is your second-language, so you can use this way:How to memorize words use A4 paper*divide A4 paper into 4 parts
1.
first part: copy words that you don't know(don't write it's meaning), then as good as your best to remember it
2.
second part: write meaning that all you can remember through the words
3.
third: cover the part 1, and write the words
4.
4: write meaning

At least, good luck!
