Respect “Brain Fade”

See your brain as depositing layers of information. Because you place more information on top, the lower levels become older and less available to your immediate recall. The trick here is simply to review. Since we can anticipate the eventual fading of our memory, creating a review aspect to our study session will solve the problem.It is normal for the brain to have an attrition rate and to not recall things. This does not mean that you are stupid! Instead of getting mad about this fact, you should expect it and contract with it accordingly. Once every two or three study sessions, simply review older material that you will be still needing to remember. Often, a quick overview is sufficient. Sometimes, a complete detailed study gathering of the older material is required. “Brain fade” is completely normal. (Unless you are gifted with a photographic memory, which is extremely rare.)

Visual learners learn by seeing
                              If you’re a chart learner you could use colours in your notes and draw diagrams to help represent key points. You could try to remember some ideas as images.

Tactile/kinesthetic learners learn by doing
