Best Memory Tricks For International Students

The whole trick for scoring good grades is to be able to memorize what you study correctly. Many of us seem to struggle with memorizing things. We can understand them, but it is hard to learn them.

You especially don’t want to forget things when you are out in International universities for which you have to pay a lot. Here are a few simple tricks that you can use to increase your memorization power: 

Organize Your Space

When space, where you study, is not organized correctly, you won’t feel comfortable studying there. There will be something in front of your eyes which sub-consciously you will keep thinking of. If this happens, you won’t be able to concentrate and memorize the thing that you are trying to. 

Visualize the Information

Another great way to ensure that you don’t forget things you remember is to learn them effectively. Our minds process information in terms of images. For example, when you say cow, you don’t think of the letters that make up a cow but picturise the cow. So when you can visualize what you learn, you will be able to remember it for much longer. 

Keep Rewarding Yourself

 You can try this; for some people, it is very useful. Whenever you complete a milestone, you can reward yourself with a treat. That way, your mind will become keen to reach the next milestone and reaching the next milestone will mean that you have memorized more things. 

Teach Others

This is one of the best ways to evaluate how good have you understand the topic or chapter. You can try to teach others whatever you have learnt. This will help you in understanding what you are teaching in an even better way. Also though you don’t have anyone to school, pretend like you do and start training. 

Take Regular Breaks

What happens when you keep a machine running at high power for a long time? It will burn the engine. Our mind is much like a machine when we are learning something. Before it heats a lot, cool down. Taking regular breaks will help you ensure that you are studying effectively. Also, it will help you go at memorizing stuff for a much more extended period than you actually can. 

Repeat

Have you ever heard the phrase ‘practice makes perfect’? Well, you don’t have to care about being perfect, just care about being better. When you study or memorize something once, do it again, and again.

This will help you ensure that you don’t forget it for an extended period. Even when you do miss out on small parts, study them again. This is one of the best methods of going about memorization if you have a lot of time. 

Sleep Better

When you don’t sleep better, your mind automatically stops working in the way it should. Not only this, having a bad sleep routine will make you feel like you don’t have a lot of energy in your body. Have a fixed time for sleeping, create a habit out of it. 

Discover Methods To Learn

When you keep memorizing in the same manner as you used to a year before, chances are you will be bored as hell. That is why you should always be in the hunt for new and effective methods for studying so that you never get bored. 

Memorizing is not a skill that one is born with. It is just something that you get better in when you do it over and over again.
