How to memorize 70 pages in 4 days?

[iamverybeautiful]

Hi guys,
I have to memorize 70 pages of definitions in 4 days. What's the best way to do it?

[Dream]

What is the subject?

I don't know if there is a best way, but I'm sure the only way to do it involves a large amount of coffee and sleep deprivation.

Why do you have to memorize that much at one time?

lol you don't that's simple answer.

Highlight the most important parts and remember those, but of course read through the whole thing first

You'll never memorize it all but you should do as the above said and memorize those!
Everyone learns in different ways so how you go about it is up to you.
Lots of people like mindmaps although I would say flash cards are better for definitions.
Or you could just read/write them over and over until you get them.
You could always just memorise the gist of them if you have an idea on what they are about. It's really up to you.
Don't be too down on sleep because that won't help you, get a good 7/8 hours sleep apart from the day before if you really need to stay up and cram...
More sleep, more your brain works, more focus!
Good Luck!

Well, aside from asking why you need to memorize so much... Take it one page at a time, and highlight the most important parts. Try to make connections or a neumonic device, or make it into a song. (music does WONDERS, but maybe I'm only saying that because I'm a music therapist!) Also, try reading through a few pages every night, that way you'll remember it while you sleep.

Never, ever go through the entire thing until like, the day of. You'll never memorize 70 pages that way.

Good luck I suppose ._.

You could try recording yourself and playing it as you sleep. I heard that you learn well unconscious.
Or you could make flash cards. Since it's a lot to learn it's good to do it in small chunks so flash cards might be good.
Good luck!
