Answer #5

What helped me (oddly).. whenever it was time to study, I’d spray a certain perfume.. or put on a certain scented lotion and study.. or listen to music.. then when it’s time to take the test, I’ll spray that same perfume/lotion and it will help me remember. Or with the music, a question on the test will remind me of the song I was listening to while I was studying about it and will jog my memory. Sounds weird, but it always helped me A LOT.

Answer #6

Haha, I don’t think I’ll try the perfume thing :) But, the music idea sounds interesting, thanks.
