Wow!..Law!!..you need to remember lots of things then..I'm a student myself...but, I believed that if you are really interested with what you are doing, it's easier to understand what you are learning, thus leading to easier to recall it. But, to really test yourself if you really want to have a good memory, you must always test your brain, think!, think!, think!. Our brain are much more better at storing info when compared to computers.\nTry this: Every time you red something, understands it, and try to write it all over again, without looking at the book again...Understand is important, this will help you remember better. I've also been practicing eating beans, make it like once a week, heard that they help improving our memory.

Any course of study will be okay, but an emphasis in logic and writing is best. I am a second year law student who majored in English and History, and by far, being a good writer has helped me thus far. Your ability to reason is something that is essential for law school success, so if you enjoy word games and different logic games, you will "like" reading and analyzing the cases. :o)

Write down a number when you are going to bed. When you wake up try to remember what the number is. As you keep doing this your memory will improve. Also anything that creates new brain cells aids memory so try learn a new language. Brushing your teeth with your left hand also creates new brain cells

Take a note of what you studied in simple terms. When you see those few tips what all you read must come to your mind. Keep many such notes. Go through them when you are free. Even sitting in a park observing the dogs play with a ball you can review these niotes.\nPRACTISE MAKES PERFECT.\nAFTER FOUR FIVE TIMES YOU WILL REMEMBER THEM ALL AND FAST AND QUICK.

Remembering lots of information for a short period of time is something that most of us will remember when it came to our exams - whether past, present or future.\n\nSome people are much better than others at this and it seems it is innate, or so we believe.\n\nBut in fact some people just naturally use the best technique that is more effective than that used by others. Here is the best technique for this type of learning:\n\nFirst, never study for more than 20 minutes at a time. Do 20 minutes then a 5 minute break.\n\nAfter that break, think back and review what you learnt - that's the key step that really helps cement the key ideas in your mind, without that step your learning becomes much less effective.

Keep using your mind, play memory games.\n\nAssociate between names, faces, objects, smell, feelings.\nTie-in your senses with the memory.\n\nYou can also try mnemonics, debeloping visual or verbal stories about waht your memorizing

To increase your brains memory capacity you could try exercising it. Read a page of a book over & over untill it sticks, just like actors do with a script. Or memorise your supermarket receipt everytime you go shopping.\nFish oils also help. You can get fish capsules(omega 3) from any health shop/ supermarket/ pharmacy.

Memory power can be increased by a very simple method....daily before going to bed recall what happened in that day this will help you to delete few unwanted thoughts in your mind....avoid unwanted things ..that is dont stress on too much when you know a thing is crap...if you are asking it for a exam point of view..then 10 days before  the exam dont watch any video including your tv soaps and news.....because video tends to erase what you learnt if you want to un wind ....listen to music ......this way you can save space  in your mind...for you to fill half the time memory is lost due to deletion of the stuff from mind....therefore try this out it will surely work..

1. Have a regular time and location to study.\n\n2. Get ahold of upcoming lessons and read ahead. *The reason for this is important. If you study ahead - when you do take the subject in class it is a review for you. You'll actually be ahead of the class when preparing for your exam.\n\n3. Work with someone who can help you - not distract you. * This is a mastermind technique you'll use in the business world. Get use to it.\n\n4. No TV. ( a little quiet background music is acceptable)\n\n5. Learn memory techniques. Do not rely on rote memory. * Use ridiculous association for subjects where you have alot of facts to remember. Your mind is like a filing cabinet. If you don't have a filing system you won't know how to retrieve the knowledge when you need it.\n\n6. Use colored post its to mark , "must knows, could knows, and should knows. Remember - most of your hard cover books are filler. Focus on what your teacher wants you to know.\n\n7. Eating before study causes blood to go from the brain to the stomach. Watch when you eat.\n\n8. Get plenty of rest. Don't party on school nights.\n\n9. Do "all your assignments!" "Write all your tests!" - falling behind because of missed assignments or classes will make studying difficult. If you have to miss a class - have someone provide you with notes and <ask> the teacher if you're confused. DO NOT FALL BEHIND!!!! Knowing your subject is like building a house. If you miss information your foundation will be weak and your house will not hold up! That's why students who miss class have a bad time of it.\n\n10. Set a goal for yourself in each subject you take and shoot high. That is to say...shoot for an A and you'll most likely get a B. Write your goal in the present tense - I.e. It is Jun 2007 and I have completed Math 30 with an A plus. (Describe the reaction of your teacher/parents/friends and how good you feel about achieving your goal. "Remember - if a goal doesn't have a time limit set on it - your goal is just a dream!"\n\n11. Never get into a tiff with your teacher - show genuine interest and you'll see a higher grade.\n\n12. Keep good notes - no...excellent notes. Notes that refer back to your text book and highlight the must knows! Have a table of contents.

I don't agree that just reading cases is effective in the study of law. Memorization won't help you in the long run.\n\nThe point of having law students read cases (and the point that often gets overlooked) is that the value is in learning how to digest and understand the material. Briefing the case let you practice how to quickly go through a case, and pull out the important statements of law. That's the same thing you are going to have to do as an attorney, when researching appropriate legal precedent.\n\nYes, the facts of the case also help form an association to assist us in remembering the rule. Anyone who has taken Remedies will probably remember the egg-washing-machine case. \n\nBut the point of the learning process is to understand the general concepts and to learn how synthesize simple rule statements from complex holdings. The other part is to be able to understand why certain fact patterns trigger the application of certain rules.\n\nMost law schools just assume that students will figure out why they are reading cases as they go along. But if you understand the purpose of the reading, and take advantage of the reading to actually practice the relevant skills, you can be more effective in your studies and your practice.\n\nIf you are asking how to do good in your exams, then practice is also the key. The goal is to Learn to recognize fact patters and understand what rules should apply. For learning the rules, see above. For writing the essay, remember your IRAC. Don't skip the analysis portion. Be thorough, and write simply. \n\nWhen in doubt, do practice exams from past classes. Most professors are willing to read your practice exams and give you feedback. Practice is the key.

Memory is something that has to be trained. The more time you spend working on learning things the better you will learn them.\n\nOther than that, don't cram, study consistently throughout the semester and study in small increments of like 1/2 an hour to an hour. Then take a break before coming back to it.

Try Mind Mapping!!!\nWrite all the most important facts that need to be remembered on que cards, study them and then shuffle them and map them back together. That way u will remeber the facts and all the little bits that connect them!!!!!

Practice, practice, practice.  Do exercises involving this activity. For example, memorizing Bible verses, encyclopedia, newspaper articles, etc.  Also, stay off drugs, alcohol and eat healthy.  You would be surprised at how much food choices affect the brain.  Sugar-make it history. Exercise the brain as much as you can. Read everything, when you're in a boring meeting or class, try to memorize what people are wearing and check to see how close you were. Now, as you age, this will get harder each year, trust me. So, if you're young, get to it!

well see the doctor but let me tell you the best thing you can do before hand and keep your memory in good shape buy a small notebook and keep an organizer in your purse and every time you have something in mind write it down, that way you wont forget and you keep your brain focused at all time, I already know that if you go to the doc they are going to give you pills and junk to make you think its going to work think about it, your 21 and your to young to have a problem I think you are not focusing on things, the notebook will refresh your brain and memory and after some time you will train your self to remember just give it time and don't forget to write your what to do list everyday, and little things like what people have said to you for your personal reference........ belive me Ive tried it and it works ............Dont stress out to much .........

Well it depends on if you want to improve your long term memory or your short term memory - they're separate entities.  I suggest looking into some psychology texts in your local library.\n\nMemory is all about practise - it's like learning your times tables when you're young.  Repetition is a good way to do it, but is more suited to memorising something specific.\n\nRemove as many outside distractions as possible when trying to learn something, or else your focus will be split in several directions.

Kaplan books are good, but I really suggest you take a classroom course.  I took kaplan's course and I improved 9 points.  Since you want to improve quite a bit, it would really help you to have in person training and assistance.  It's worth the money, because it will get you into a better law school and earn you much much more in the long run!!  I would call your local Kaplan center, they usually have 4 week crash courses available before each test, so you still have plenty of time!!! Good luck!!
