How to remember stuff for a long period of time?

Firstly, you should know that our brain is very adept at forgetting things it doesn't consider necessary for its survival and it fails to understand that excelling our exams are veryyyy important for our survival.

So, what you need is revision of your subject matter over and over again, over a period of time.

How to achieve that though?

Flashcards are often used for achieving this technique but to be honest, for a very vast syllabus Flashcards get quite overwhelming. So I created REVISION SHEETS for myself. It's the same thing as flashcards but it encompasses a few other techniques that makes the vastness of the topics a little easy to control and comprehend.

I make them two ways: one is completely random, with information important to remember but from various different topics. And another is by making mindmaps.

And in both of these things, I add information in QnA format. Easy.

Step by Step guide to revision sheets:

Firstly, I'd advise you to read/understand a chapter/topic through a lecture, a youtube video or a textbook. Atleast have a basic understanding of the concepts.

Check the major headings or the major sub-topics.

Start plotting the mindmap roughly, by Sub-topics and how and where you'll put them for better understanding.

Now, when you're writing content, put it all in QnA format, especially HOW you want you remember the information.

There, done.

Just make sure to use that sheet to revision at good intervals of time.

You can, of course, make changes to this process. But this is what I've done for my revision work.

[Also, I am not sure if someone else might not have already thought of this idea. Though, I don't think such study tips have any copyright but I'm just putting out there that if it resembles something that others have used/talk about online, then it's because we both thought of the same thing. And you'll too probably to solve your study problems. So all the best, let's all work hard and find our happiness.]

1:40pm: the obstacles have shown up. in the form of a toxic parental. a small relief is that it wasn't of my making but when a parent fails to do parent things, its like a double edged sword and you're the one getting cut on both ends.

while I did stay up last night to try and complete Thermodynamics - and when I crashed after that I didn't wake up early at all T_T - it dawned on me that its simply too big of a chapter to complete in one day. along with the other chapters I've assigned myself this week.

I thought about it and I think realistically I'm not going to be able to finish them all in the time I have right now, but I can still do something so I don't walk into an exam blind and resigned.

so as a compromise, I'm gonna do as much as I can for the chapters I scheduled each day and its okay if I don't finish the whole thing, because I still did learn and now know more than I did yesterday. despite what anyone says, that's enough.
