how do you keep all the material in your head?


bored

Recommended Posts

i finished physics and chemistry, but how does one keep all that info in your head while you are studying for bio and organic chem?

 

lol. I am completely opposite. How do you keep all of that bio/ochem rxns in your head????

 

For chem/phys: IMO, if you know all of the formulas at the back of most prep books (TPR has a great formula sheet), you will be fine. When I say know, I mean understand the theory behind them and how to manipulate them, you should be able to answer every question.

 

For me, the best way to remember the theory is to memorize the formulas. (otherwise I would never suggest to someone to memorize formulas)

I can do that already but,

What do you do when yoU need to know specific detail About one of the topic like say waves.. Like say you need to remember when frequency stays constant and when speed stays constant?

 

I guess this means I havent mastered the material yet..

I review. Quickly read notes or chapters and do new questions or old questions I had difficulty with. I review all of the material I have covered so far once a week. Really, it is about a 30 minute review per subject.

 

I do the same with most courses. Quick reviews regularly so that the material sticks in my head, and often I barely need to study when the exams come.
