Write down what you must learn. Rewrite your notes. Read aloud to yourself. Writing helps you to remember things.

  14. Learn Meanings and Definitions. • You must know the meanings of everything you learn. • You must know definitions by heart. • Write things down. Write down words and their meanings. Sit and explain everything to yourself. Write out definitions you must know. Writing helps you to remember things.

  15. How do you know when you know something? • You know something when you can explain it to others. • Start by explaining it to yourself. • Then explain it to someone else. Then explain it to someone else. Explain everything to yourself first. If you can do this, you know it.
