Struggling to stay focused

[cookderosa]

right now I"m reading about the brain and I have no clue how people memorize all of these parts of the brain.

Here is my trick:

Don't memorize all of it. In my experience, it is better to be 100% rock solid on some of it than vague on all of it.
On a note card, draw or write out 1/2 to 3/4 of the words you are trying to memorize.
Memorize THOSE parts with 100% accuracy.

This will give you enough knowledge to use process of elimination because your answer choices will include ones you WILL know. Additionally, if it is one you know you don't know, you have narrowed it too. See?

While I wouldn't suggest this for all units of the subject, I think there are fewer than 5 or so questions possibly about the brain, so the odds are very much in your favor using this technique.

Use YOUR brain space to study for the parts that will make up the highest percentage of the exam.
