How do you rember things for tests.., ever use a recorded message? Options

Lol i dunno this is something new im trying..i dont know if it works but i want some opinions from you guys.


So im sorta failing spanish...i try and study but i forget a lot of the words..so my friend was like "why not try making a cd and listening to it over and over?".

At first i laughed at him but then i though, well..we listen to music right? and after awhile we memorize the songs, even songs we hate..so..would listening to a recorded message do the same?

So i recorded my voice saying some spanish verbs (over 50 ) and im sorta listwening to them now on my media player, i cant play the cd on a cd player cause the file is in .wma formate (anyone know any voice recording programs that make the file .mp3?).

so anyways i was wondering if it works..has anyone done it? or is it just lame lol.

You know, most of the tests I study for, well I mean if I DO study (rarely), I always forget what I studied anyway. I mean, I have very short term memory and a short attention span. So I have a har dtime even paying attention at all hahha. But anyway, when I really do try to study and do remember, I just say somethng over and over again 30 times. If I had to remember vocabular words for when i was a Freshman, I would say the word and definition 20-30 times. Yea I wasted about an hour doing that, but I remembered it lol. And that was the only homework I had for freshman english class anyway haha. When I say things over and over again the night before, I remember it very well.
