SIX WAYS OF REMEMBERING WHAT YOU HAVE READ

Most times students spend hours read but at the end they forget all they have read and wonder if someone from their village is after their success in school, most times we are the cause of our problems, we do some things that we shouldn't have done, as the Bible said my people perish out of ignorance.
Below are six of the most practical techniques to remember what you read
bonus points if you can remember all six tomorrow.

1. Skim the text first


An anonymous user cites an article by Bill Klemm,
Ph.D., a professor of neuroscience, which highlights
skimming as a key strategy for retaining information.
The idea here isn't to skip the whole reading process.
Instead, you'll want to skim the text for important
topics and keywords beforehand so you know what to
expect when you actually dig into the material. Being
familiar with the general themes, Klemm says, will
help you remember the particulars.
2. Take notes on the page
"Never read without a pencil," said a Quora user in a
since-deleted comment. "Underline sentences you find
confusing, interesting, or important. Draw lines along
the side of important paragraphs. Draw diagrams to
see the structure of key ideas."



3. Ask yourself questions about the material
Ingrid Spielman recommends interacting with the text
by asking yourself questions as you go along.
If you're reading a textbook, the question can be as
simple as, "What is the main idea of this section?"

4. Impress, associate, repeat
Stack Exchange user TRdH says that memory is a
three-pronged process. (His answer was reproduced
on Lifehacker.)
The first part is impression. You can increase the
strength of the impression the text makes on you by
picturing the situation in your mind or envisioning
yourself participating in the events described.
The second part is association, or linking the material
to something you already know. For example, maybe
one of the character's names sounds like your friend's
name.
The third part is repetition. The more you read the
material, the stronger your memory will be. If you
don't want to reread a whole book, try highlighting
some parts of the text that you can go back to.

5. Introduce the information to others
In a TED Talk, educational psychologist Peter Doolitle
says that if you want to remember what you
experience, it's important to do something with that
information.
Two Quora users listed talking about what you read as
a useful means of processing new material.
Venkatesh Rao suggests blogging, or otherwise trying
to explain to others what you think you've learned.
Plus, if you find that you can't explain it, you might
want to go back and reread.

6. Read out loud
Another anonymous Quora user says, "I actually have
to read out loud to myself most of the time to
understand and remember what I just read."
Writing in Psychology Today, psychologist Art
Markman, Ph.D., says this strategy might work best
when there are a few key items you need to
remember. That's because the sentences you speak
(or even whisper) out loud take on a distinctiveness.
You remember producing and hearing the items and so
your memory for them is different from the memory of
the words you read silently.
