5 WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY

Image
        Have you tried reading a concept for a very long time, probably 3 to 7 hours, then when you try to remember what you've read, later on, you discover that you've forgotten. I have experienced that, more times than I can count. I would read and think that I had fully gotten a concept, only to get to the exam hall and start staring into space when a question relating to that concept comes up. It was really devastating for me ( especially when I remember it as soon as I come out of the exam hall ). A lot of people have this experience but don't know that there are actually easy steps to take to improve their memories. Let's jump into them right away. 1.

       When people hear the phrase "A+ students", what automatically comes to their minds are "Oh, you mean a bookworm" or "Nerds". Well that's not completely accurate. It is true that people who are A students sometimes are bookworms or are very intelligent people, but being an A student doesn't necessarily mean being those. You can hate studying and still be an A student. Just because you don't love what you do, doesn't mean you can't be good at it. Imagine yourself going to work. Just because you're good at that cashier job doesn't mean you love doing it. Still, there are people who actually love what they do. That's how it is when it comes to studying. So with this, I'm going to give you 5 easy steps to take to be an A student. 1. Change your mindset First, change the way you think. There's something called 'be-do-have'. This simply means that you have to be something, to be able to do what that thing doe...
