Anyone studying? I need tips

I find it the easiest to remember things by association ie colours or smells or shapes that are familiar and easy to remember. So say if you are trying to learn about aging wines, you can associate them with the trees that made the barrels ie oaky aroma, oak tree. Or what about the glass ie merlot is a full flavoured wine served from a full round glass.
Not sure if this is making any sense so will stop!

I used to write out questions and answers and get someone to quiz me on them.

I'm the same robyn I remember the most useless stuff but forget the important stuff.

I read over it a few times and then tell someone or get them to ask me questions. I think someone has already said it but I write it down in cool colours and then I can remember what it looks like on the page and I remember it.

i usually write down key words/points as i read, it usually sticks it my brain if i do. Its like i tell myself the same thing 2 or 3 times.

Umm everyone learns differently but all adults primary learniing atyle is by doing, or Kanetic learning.  (I have studied adult teaching as part of an old job).  I also come form a family that makes wines.  The best way to learn to identify the smells and tastes associated witht he wines is to have a glass in front of you and smell the wine then try to identify what you are smelling on the flavour charts (then read te winemakers notes on teh back of the bottle).  Do this with every wine you open, have a taste think about the flavours and smells then read te back of the bottle and amell and taste again.  You can aso take it one step further and get grass clippings, put them in water for a couple of hours then smell the water (it will have a smell close to the wine smell than fresh clipping which are too strong).  the same can be done for other scents as well.

i am a discussion learner so tend to need someone else to bounce ideas ff to learn most effectively.  Mostimportantly have fun, your brain will take morein if you are relaxed and enjoying yourself.

Hope this helps.

I find doing 'mind maps' helps. Also making notes about key points using headings is useful, if I'm needing to memorise info. Cue cards with questions on one side and answers on the back are also a good idea.
