sup?
Have you guys experienced that you memorize something for a test only to forget it two weeks later and have to re memorize for the final or midterm? I mean seriously though, sometimes I think whats the point in learning this material if I'm only going to forget it shortly afterwards...why go through all these various classes (besides the fact that they have to be taken to graduate
)? Anyone found anything that can improve memory to such a degree that we memorize and then we easily retain without much effort? frankly, poor memory sucks....

I think in your case, remembering specific bits is all about short sharp revision sessions. This is because, if you imagine your brain is a series of points, and a memory in a way is the path between those points - every time you send a signal down a path the memory gets stronger.
Even if it's just putting it on your fridge door in the morning so you remember, you shouldn't have to learn the whole thing all over again. It's about accessing that memory that you have created, the more frequently you access it the better ingrained into your mind it becomes.
Getting a good routine of sleep and breakfast will really help though, and for late night sessions ensure you are feeling alert and awake as otherwise you won't absorb any information.
