SIM Studying Strategies

Another strand of SIM Learning Strategies is designed to help students retain and study information after they’ve acquired it. These strategies include techniques for creating mnemonics and other memory aids to support the recall of key facts, as well as methods for learning and retaining new vocabulary. By equipping students with these tools, the strategies help them prepare more effectively for tests and long-term academic success.
