The key is to keep reviewing. What I do is the first time I do a run through I look at the answer and think about it for a few seconds. The second time I do not look at the answer right away- I try to remember the answer- I really search my brain for a clue. If I do not know it I look at the answer and think about it some more- I try to find something in the answer that makes sense. Sometimes it is just one word of the answer that I need to remember in order to remeber the whole answer. Sometimes reversing the way you do the cards helps too- for instance once you feel you have the cards down try reading the answers and remembering the questions. Also once you have the questions down mix them all up- this helps move the cards out of the original context of learning. All I can say is these techniques got me through abnormal psych and classical mythology with A's!! Good luck
