See it, say it, hear it, write it! By using as many senses as you can, you increase your chances for learning and remembering what you're studying. "The 'recording disk' of the brain accepts new material much faster if it hears, sees or pictures, feels, tastes, and detects physical activity during input or recording time. And, the more the activity is repeated, the deeper and longer lasting the impression." (from http://www.middlebury.edu/academics/tools/olr/study_skills/study_test/active_study.htm) So the next time you're preparing for a quiz or a test, don't just sit there! Write your vocabulary, say it, draw a picture to help you remember! You can also go to online practice and game sites to help you review. To help you get used to active studying, try to use a checklist.
