When you say information out loud it is reinforced in your brain. Have you ever asked someone to remind you to do something? Do they usually need to remind you? Not usually. When you say information out loud, it comes out of your mouth and back in through your ears going into your long-term memory.Talk about your study notes and what you are learning with a friend or even to yourself out loud. You'll be amazed at how the information sticks. Teaching someone about your subject is also a useful strategy. You could even try teaching your younger brother or sister, or your parents, your work. Finding a study buddy, someone you can discuss your study notes with, is also useful.
