These are the terms you need to understand and remember. These facts and concepts are the raw materials for your studying.
Here’s how to approach it
Start by identifying the “Don’t Knows.” These are the items you are sure you don’t know. We have a unique ability to know what we don’t know. Without searching, you know you don’t know the word shkuumptin (because I just made it up). But you didn’t have to search. You immediately knew it wasn’t in your memory systems.
Use this ability, called negative recognition, to speed up your studying. Scan through the list of terms and make note of the ones you don’t know anything about. Look them up and move them from Don’t Knows to Not Sures.
Once everything is either Know or Not Sure, you can organize the list into clusters, study the clusters and remember everything better.
