How to Improve Your Memory While Studying
Kara doesn't much like American history, and she's put off studying for the final exam on Friday. On Thursday night, she stays up and reads over each chapter from beginning to end. But when she sits down to take the test the next day, she can't seem to remember a thing that she read. What happened?

Keep your Brain Going


A few websites that have information to improve your memory are-
http://www.memory-improvement-tips.com/
http://www.200words-a-day.com/memory-masters.html
http://health.yahoo.com/experts/drmao/19638/4-tricks-to-improve-your-memory/

A few ways on these websites that I found helpful were:
· Fish oil pills are a great source
· Playing Brain games
· Getting enough sleep
· Reading a book
· Writing in a journal

Yes these websites were very useful. It’s always been hard for me to remember things for tests, but after reading these sites it gave me many ideas. Also on these websites it explains how to manage your time effectively and staying organized. It also gives tips like taking vitamins and maybe creating a journal to keep your brain running/going.

Health and Aging/ Memory

http://helpguide.org/life/improving_memory.htm
Are there games? Not on the main webpage, no, but the site does have links elsewhere which include memory-improvement games.

What advice does the site give? The site includes advice on health and aging related to memory improvement, as well as a list of general guidelines for improving memory and a list of mnemonic devices that can also help improve memory.

Is the advice useful? The advice is essentially the same advice you’d get from health magazines, self-help books, the textbook for this class, and anywhere else a student would look for tips on improving their memory. The advice, of course, would have to be tried out to determine if it was useful, but it sounds legitimate and practical.

Authority? The website is a .org site, and its external links lead the viewer to other sites, which include .edu, .org, an AARP site, a site linked to Duke, and other apparently reliable sources. Two of the webpage’s writers are M.A.s

Accuracy? The information seems accurate, though I can’t really vouch for the medical-related information, not knowing much about it. There are no glaring errors in the section on memory improvement techniques. I see no reason why the information should not be considered accurate.

Timeliness? The site is copyrighted as 2001-2008, so it is probably fairly recent. The page itself was last modified in November 2007, so it is only about two years old.

Objectivity? The page appears academic and professionally written, and the information seems valid and doesn’t promise any quick results. It’s essentially a how-to guide. There’s no reason to doubt the information as presented on the page is anything but objective.

Note Taking, Test anxiety

http://www.howtostudy.com/ This link will help any college student in need for any help with anything. It has all different kinds of things that will help you such as note taking, studying,even how to have success in college

This website is pretty much the same as the first one http://www.educationatlas.com/ it talks about how to help you take notes and it also talks about how to take care of your test anxiety. It talks about good places to study such as the library or outside. It also talks about how you should get yourself in a routine of studying.

Memory and Study Skills Websites

The first web site I found is http://www.memorygood.com/
It includes tips for memory skills, brain training games, and causes for memory loss. This could definitely help students not only improve memory but avoid some things that might cause them to lose their memory.

The next website I found was at www.lumosity.com . This website seems to be dedicated solely to improving memory. There are lots of games for brain training and not much information to be read. It seems to be a trusted site because it has a seal of approval from the BBB and McAfee security. I suppose it could help students in that aspect but it won’t inform them of much.
