How do i remeber things when stufying for study and not forget it a week later?

It really depends on what your style of learning is. I agree with the answer before mine that talking about it helps a lot… but that’s for me, and maybe not you. However, being able to discuss it out loud makes you have to think through what you’re going to say instead of just mindlessly reading words off of a page.

Another way I try to help myself remember is to make “games” with myself. The best example I have of this is when I was in philosophy. I remember that it was Socrates, Plato, and then Aristotle because their first initials spell SPA. Or I’ll make up jokes with myself about it, like remembering what Freud said the id, ego, and super-ego did. The id is the part of us that panders to our most basic cravings, which I remember by saying that “*I’D* do ___ if nothing would happen.” I don’t know if thise makes sense, but it’s one of the things that helps me!

that happens to everyone, even me who gets straight A’s(im going to be a high school senior in sept.). Its ok that u forget it a week later, because when finals comes around, u study only the important things again and u do fine on teh final. as for ur saying that u want to remember things for college, dont worry. just like in middle and high school, if the teacher starts teaching something that u havent seen in a while, u will say “oh, i remember that”. and anyways, u dont have to remember everything u learned in high school for college. u wont need to know little facts like in u.s. history ot something.

Humans always learn best if they keep on retrieving from their long term memory. If you are just storing the information in the short term, then of course you are going to forget.

You might try talking about what you studied. Sometimes the conversation will trigger your memories better.
