How to improve Memory

Practice - the more often we do something, the more likely we are to remember it.
Memory strategies - these are ways of processing information that will help you remember it better.
Organisation - this ensures that information is stored in a more meaningful and well-organised way and which is easier for the brain to recall when needed.
Understanding - if we understand information it is easier for us to remember, and if we understand how memory works, it is easier to make it work well for us personally.

I included some useful resources for students on memory here.

I quite agree with you on understanding. I think that's why I always liked Maths - I understood it really well so found I didn't have to remember that much!
