 During certain exams, you'll need to demonstrate that you've truly retained everything you've learned without using a cheat sheet. How do you do that? By repeating, repeating and repeating. If you read or hear something once, you'll remember it for a short time. But if you repeat it more often, it enters your long-term memory. So, by rereading texts, reviewing summaries and revisiting the same information, you can more easily recall this knowledge later on. That's the power of repetition. Repetition helps you remember information and apply it in various situations. This comes in handy not only for exams, but also when you want to memorize a presentation. How do you practice this? Highlight important words or sentences in the text and read them multiple times over a period of time. Create memory aids for yourself, or write down critical texts word for word. Explaining to others what you've learned also works very well. And to indulge in a little repetition myself, want to know more about repetition? Click here.
