  Tips to memorise - Dun kw.
  
  Depending on subjects, memorising stuff is not a good way.

  I tot nowadays education system are shifting away from pure memorizing work and focus on application of wat is being taught? They still major and emphasize on memory work? Hmmm.... .

  For history you can use timeline method. Like one event leading to the other...
  
  subjects like maths and languages, practise more and read more
  
  The rest make your own notes, in point form.

  when u learn and memorise sth,u'll forget 20% of it the next dae.
  
  so revise the next day after memorising or learning stuff.
  
  after a week revise again everything so that the memory is active for another mth(yes..u can actually rmb it after a mth.)
  
  this is one good preparation for the final year exam.

  math you die die also must remember what is the formula and how to apply it.
  knowing formula but not knowing how to apply = not knowing at all. so its best to practise for these kind of question....
  
  for theory stuff... i will read through the whole topic once then copy the important stuff and linking keywords with them.
  if there are too many points, i will shorten the keywords to only their first alphabet. eg, APPHG <- dun make any sense but i remember it and recap what that alphabet stands for. and the information will naturally flow out.
