Hey I'm 19 years old and goes to university. I'm a little good at math because I don't have to remember long paragraphs in math but the problem is I can't remember long answer that's why I failed in computer fundamentals. I prepared very well at home but in examination hall all the stuff that I had learned suddenly disappear. I can't even write a single sentence. Please tell me how can I improve my memory. And give some tips to study better and learn long paragraphs and remember it. Please help. Thanks.

Dear lybrate user, welcome to lybrate. Memory and mind power depends mainly on three aspects. Understanding, storage and recollection. To understand what you are studying, you must be able to be attentive or concentrate. Concentration is possible when you are interested in that subject. Creative way of learning can help you concentrate and understand easily. When you are able to understand and concentrate, it is stored within your brain. If you read more and more it will be store in long term memory. Third part is retrieval. Whenever you want to retrive what you learned and stored, your brain gets the request, searches the database and retrieves the information for you. The retrieval may prove to be difficult if you are anxious, stressed, worried or tired physically or mentally. Retrieval is more easy when you are relaxed and healthy. Brain needs nutrients to keep itself sharp. Fruits, vegetables and dry fruits provide much needed nutrients for your brain. Include at least one fruit in your daily diet. Physical exercises, entertainment, hobbies, relaxation, memory games like sudoku etc help keep your memory sharp and active. Take care.
