Tips For Memorization

Here are a few surefire ways to remember things, in no particular order of effectiveness:

1. Teach someone else about what you learned/what you are learning
2. Rewrite notes from memory, checking back to the original copy only sparingly
3. Create mnemonics to remember things (see the mnemonics post)
4. Use index cards to quiz yourself (see the index cards post)
5. Do practice problems
6. Apply what you have learned to the real world

Generally, the more methods you use to remember something and the more often you use them, the more likely it is that you will remember it.
