Any tips on improving memory and retaining information?

[N*E*R*D]

No jokes please...

I know you college students...and former college students can help me.

The subjects I'm trying to master are Anatomy & Physiology. Even though I took I & II and passed with a high B...being a 91 and a high A being 95. I still feel like there is so much we covered that I won't remember going into my major.

this is a kind superficial intro to memory techniques, so you will have to google or buy some books about it, but this works

first 30 pills are money back guarantee (you dont have to send it in or anything just say u want ur money back)

adderall..


but most people forget everything they learned in school anyway.. in terms of your major you typically remember enough so that when you need it in a higher level course you can just "relearn" it easy.

This.
Turns out there's really no simple way to retain info other then beat the shyt into your brain.

If there was a pill to solve all this shyt it would come with your books.

I always found study group to work well for me. SOmething about explaining it to other people. If i can explain it that means I know it. If i can't well then I can ask questions.
