8 unique ways to improve your memory for exams

1. Memory Palaces (Method of Loci): Visualize information in familiar locations, creating mental "rooms" to store and retrieve data.

2. Storytelling & Narrative: Turn facts into engaging stories; narratives are easier to remember than isolated data.

3. Use Sensory Associations: Link information to smells, sounds, or tastes. The more senses involved, the stronger the memory.

4. Teach It Backwards: After learning a topic, try explaining it in reverse order. This tests understanding and strengthens recall.

5. Create Mind Maps with Colors & Images: Visual aids with vibrant colors and relevant images enhance memory retention.

6. Use Rhymes & Songs: Turn key concepts into catchy rhymes or songs; musical memory is powerful.

7. Interleave Subjects & Topics: Mix up study sessions instead of focusing on one subject. This strengthens long-term memory.

8. The Feynman Technique: Explain concepts in simple terms, as if teaching someone else. This reveals gaps in understanding and boosts memory.
