with the advent of formal Education, the construction and establishment of Educational buildings has not ceased but has increased rapidly in this recent century since it is now more accepted unlike how it was once rejected in some areas most especially Africa. It now has a structure which is implemented into the organization of any nation, this is the concept of 'school', which happens to be a system where individuals with the common goal of learning and attaining certain educational qualification are assembled together for the sole purpose of learning under a tutor or teacher who is believed to have more knowledge and is able to impact his or her knowledge to the students, this system has taken several forms in an hierarchy order of ; primary, secondary and tertiary Education.
The sole purpose of a school is to impact knowledge and good social virtues to her students, and this is believed to be achieved partially by the act of reading and writing, this method has employed the act of putting down notes by these students which they are to read later for better comprehension and retention for a fixed exam and test which is meant to access how much these students have learnt, the intelligence of these students are then rated by how well they had performed in the test and exam.
This then pose a big issue to most students as they find it difficult to recall that which they have read and that is why this article has been put together to teach students best techniques to be able to recall that which they have read so that they will by all means do very well in their exams, hope you find it very helpful.
1.jot down while reading- this technique is one that has been employed by all those who tend to always top their class, they imbibe this into their reading culture as they tend to always make jottings while they read, you should have an extra note with you while reading so that you could put down your jottings in it this will help you recall what you are reading because your brain tends to process the information more when you are jotting in your own words, at first it would take comprehension of what you are reading to be able to jot down, so you jotting down means you have been able to comprehend that particular stuff and you are then able to put down in your own words, so if you would like to recall that which you have read then you should start jotting while reading.
2.read from the onset each time - this is an excellent technique to be a wizard academically, this method entails you reading that which you have already each time you want to make progress with your books, a practical example is if you had read chapter one of a particular book, then when you want to read chapter two you should ensure you read the chapter one at first before moving towards chapter two and then if you are to progress to chapter three then you should ensure you read through again chapter one and two before starting chapter three, this is done because you intend to ensure you do not forget that which you have already read as so is the case whenever you do not read them, this is one reason why students are slow with their studies because after they finish reading a particular aspect of their book they then abandon for a long while only for them to return to that part and then realize that they could barely recall 40% of that which they had read before and now they have to spend extra time reading this part again and thereby being slow with studies, so if you would like to be fast and highly retentive with that which you have read then i would advise you try out this technique.
3.make use of diagrams - this is one way to ensure you recall what you have read, always ensure you have a pictorial representation of that which you are reading which can be achieved by making use of diagrams that represent what you are reading, most textbooks might not provide diagrams of that which they tend to teach but it is then your duty to sought for those diagrams online or from other source materials, this will help you recall what you are reading as pictures tend to stick to the memory more and you recalling them makes you to be able to recall what you have read thereby making you to do well in your exams.
So if you would try out three of all techniques, you are sure to do well in your exams as you would have a very high retentive memory and thereby topping your class.Hope this was helpful.
