You can use this by organizing the materials you are s 5 . Try grouping similar knowledge together, or make a mind map of textbook readings to help group the information. Then when you learn more about that subject, you understand that better. Make sure that things are very clear in your mind. If not, ask questions until you understand! What’s more, when you’re learning new materials, take the time to think about the relationship between the present information and what is already k 6 . Then it can help you remember the information. Physical exercise is also important for your memory, b 7 it increases your heart rate and sends more oxygen to your brain, and that makes your memory work better.
