9 tips to refresh your memory and recall what you studied for exam

1. Active Recall Techniques: Don't just passively reread. Test yourself frequently using flashcards, practice questions, or by trying to explain concepts from memory.

2. Spaced Repetition Review: Review material at increasing intervals. Revisit topics shortly after learning, then again after a day, then a few days later, and so on.

3. Mind Mapping & Visual Aids: Create visual summaries like mind maps or diagrams to link concepts. Visual cues can trigger memory more effectively than just text.

4. Teach it to Someone (or Imagine): Explaining the material aloud, even to an imaginary person, forces you to retrieve and articulate information, strengthening recall.

5. Use Mnemonics & Memory Tricks: Create acronyms, rhymes, or stories to associate with facts and formulas. These memory aids can make recall easier, especially under exam stress.
