okay so this is a very general way that i like to study and remember things

---

for subjects like economics, business and ict which require a lot of reading:
i usually just read the textbook and get a brief idea on what the topic is about and highlight important stuff.
after getting the basics through, i start making notes based on what i remember and try applying the knowledge to real life situations and try understanding the logic behind the information theyre trying to convey.
after going through everything, i try and answer a few basic questions and then move on to past paper questions and answer the questions in the proper format.
when i'm checking my answers in the mark scheme, i write down anything i got wrong as a side note for myself to remember for the next time i attempt questions like those. and for questions like multiple choice that i get incorrect, i try and figure out what was different about my answer and the correct answer and once i realize my mistake, i write that down as a side note.
before exams and tests, i read my notes again and get as much rest as i can!!

for subjects that require a lot of application and memorization (of formulae or other things) like sciences or math:
the way i remember formulae and things like those reaction tables we get in chemistry, i try and make a story to remember them or try and figure out some kind of bizarre connection that could help me remember.
believe it or not, this one time i remembered the result of a reaction by making a story about @NandiniJoshi 😂 BUT KEEP IN MIND: this method is purely for short-term mugging up.
for more long-term memorizing and remembering, i draw mind-maps to connect everything together.
this way everything just seems a lot more logical and simpler to understand and therefore remember.
practicing past paper questions is so so important and i learnt this the hard way!!
anyone can remember formulae but being able to apply those formulae in questions comes only with practice!
i actually remembered a lot of physics formulae bc before every question i wrote down the formula i had to use on the top.
also, another great way to remember things is by writing them down on colorful flashcards or even on plain pieces of paper and sticking them in places you frequently visit (for me, its my study table and the fridge lol).
in this way, youre kinda forced to look at them and its easier to remember during exams.

as i said earlier, these are just general ways i like to study but ofc, everyone has their own personal preferences and everyone learns in a different way and has different grasping capabilities so if you have your own methods and prefer them, go for it! bc no study method is better than another!!
