<p>Lets see who can memorize the most amount of words in 3 hours?</p>
<p>Ill start around 2:00. </p>
<p>If you already done this type of feat, please post the number of words you memorized. </p>
<p>Hope this turns out well.</p>
<p>8,534,857,475</p>
<p>Shouldn't this be in the SAT section?</p>
<p>In a two hour period, I memorized a little over 120 words. Less than a minute per each word.</p>
<p>Yeah, it should be in the SAT section. I memorize like 30 words a day, but I repeat, repeat, repeat, until they are drilled in there.</p>
<p>ummm, there's an easier way to study for the vocab section in the SAT's. just memorize latin/greek roots.</p>
<p>^ Nonsense. I say spend endess hours studing words that will most likely not be on the test.</p>
<p>120 is impressive. I'm currently aiming toward 100-150 words. Hopefully I could accomplish this small feat.</p>
<p>If it's short-term (as in after the vocab test the next day at school I'll forget it)</p>
<p>I've always memorized 30 new words in less than 5~10 minutes...if it's SHORT term.</p>
<p>120 wouldn't be difficult, really, if it was short term...that's the catch. I'll probably forget it like a couple days after the test, but those 5~10 minutes per vocab test was enough for a 100% every single time (and I forgot everything else).</p>
<p>My point still stands, as I have said on the "studying" thread, it's all about concentration...I cannot study for longer than 30 minutes at once and probably have to play games/hang out/do some fun stuff for 3 hours to balance the 30 min study: 3~5 hour playing ratio...</p>
<p>But if it's short-term, like 20 minutes, I can concentrate without wasting a single second and get like what a normal 2 hour can undergo. So I'll probably fail in 3 hours memorization straight, but if it's 30 minutes memorize, then 3 hours of gaming, another 30 minutes...etc, that 6 times with breaks between...</p>
<p>Best way to learn words: Start when you're five or six years old, and read. Every year from then on, read a lot. At some point, read a lot of books that were written in the 1800s.</p>
<p>Yup, that's the secret to never having to memorize words for stupid tests. If you're not five or six years old, then remember it for your children. :D</p>
