We all have different learning methods and finding your best method can be difficult. I studied law at University, so to help remember hundreds of legal cases I had to find a memory technique that worked foe me. Personally I try to write very condensed study notes from the books and videos I use for studying. Once I have finished all the topics I go back over the notes to try and cut them down further, thus reading the notes again in the process. I then use visual aids such as mnemonics, small mind maps or relate the material to a memory I have such as a place or person. I find it much easier to remember things using images than I do trying to remember words and text.

I have a friend who merely highlights sections of his Cisco books as he reads them. He says this helps him visualise the pages and remember the text easier. Lucky person. For most people things aren’t so easy.

You really just need to find a method that works for you.
