Dhaka, 11 November

Many students complain, “I read all night, but I can’t remember anything in the exam hall.” If this happens to you, don’t worry. You are not weak in studies. You just need the right technique.

Experts say that reading for a long time is not important. Reading in the right way is important. Here are 5 effective techniques that will help you remember what you read.

*1. Read with Understanding, Not by Memorizing:* Don’t try to memorize like a parrot. First, try to understand what the topic means. If you understand it, you can write it in your own words in the exam.

*2. Use the Pomodoro Technique:* Don’t read continuously for 3 hours. Read for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. After 4 such sessions, take a long 20-minute break. Your brain will remember better this way.

*3. Write After Reading:* After reading a chapter, close the book and write down what you remember in a notebook. This is called Active Recall. It is 10 times more effective than just reading.

*4. Teach Others:* If you can teach a topic to your friend, it means you have really learned it. Try to explain what you read to your friend or family member.

*5. Revise Before Sleeping:* Our brain stores memories while we sleep. So, revise the important points for 10 minutes before going to sleep. You will remember them for a long time.

*What to Avoid?*
Do not use your mobile phone while studying. Do not read while lying on the bed. Always study at a table with proper light.

If students follow these 5 simple techniques regularly, their results will definitely improve. Remember, smart study is better than hard study.
