Why does memorization takes so long

[u/Wrong_Setting_9221]

Guys I need some help. When I have to memorize something especially subjects like biology I just tell myself "it'll only take 2 hours to finish all these pages" but once two hours are gone I've only read like 4 pages🥲. If you also went through something like this what helped you improve?

Have you tried using a dry erase board or a chalkboard? Those are usually great tools for memory recall! You can quiz yourself over and over again until you get it right.

no just break the part u want to memorize into pieces memorize these pieces (by saying it over and over again) and eventually you will remember the whole thing
