Memory tip (Know your memory): Find the topic of the question: memory steps, attention, short or long term, forgetting, or habits. Use that lesson’s tip — notice, store, recall; you keep what you notice; a small desk and a big cupboard; review before it fades; a rested brain remembers. For sums: add the gaps to the learning day, add study blocks and breaks, or count the hours of sleep.
