Memorization

The most valuable memorization technique I learned and use is Marking everything up. I use this technique for everything. Especially in English when Susie assigns us readings from are course reader, I mark everything that I think is important and go over it when I’m done with the reading. I would say I use more than one technique, because I also use the Testing your self memorization skill and making Mnemonics up. When I use the testing skill I first finish marking everything then I usually tell somebody to test me, especially on the things I highlighted, just to make sure I now why I highlighted it like the book says “you must go beyond simply coloring“. Both of these techniques help me a lot, and it crazy how it helps me in outside of school. I work in retail and we constantly have to be remembering sales and promotions the store offers. So I usually write the promos down and quiz my self, I repeat everything about ten time in till I get it down, repetition is key when trying to remember important things, “PRACTTICE“. Making mnemonics to memorize the sales is also a big help. I find it easy to make something silly like SLAP to remember Sign it, Light it, Adjust it, Pass by it. It those simple things that end up helping you when your manger quiz’s you. I think memorizations skill can help you in everything. It all depends if you keep practicing the one that best fits you. You might be able to apply some of the techniques to different situations some might work and others may not, that’s why it take time and practice to find the one that is most beneficial for you.
