How to remember crucial information for your exams

However much we study, it becomes tricky to remember everything easily. There are things that will remain in our minds for eternity, while others seem to come in one ear and go out through the other. The KCSE and KCPE exams are around the corner and this would be the best time to make use of these ‘remembering tips’:
Ensure you understand the information you intend to remember by focusing your attention on the materials you are studying. You can only do this if you are interested in what you are learning. This will allow you to relate what you must remember to what you already know.Pick a person, place, object, situation, or emotion and associate it with the information you must remember.
Frequently review the information by reciting and writing it down. This repetition makes it easier to recall information and keeps you from cramming.

Structure the information by creating a graphic organiser for the information you must remember. Put the information in related clusters. This makes it easier to remember the information in an organised manner than if it is scattered all over the place.
Relate the information to something about you, to make it easier to remember. You can also relate the new information to something you already know; this way, you increase the likelihood of recalling it.
