  • Practice studying in a similar sounding environment as a test
  • Color-coding your notes, or associating pictures with certain formulas or key concepts gives you visual cues to spark your memory
  • Create your own Venn diagram or Presentation to break things down
  • Use the same Chapstick, lotion, etc. with a specific scent when studying, and taking an exam
