text: how do you memorize a large list of words  and defintions for an english test in one day !!! please answer? so yeah how should i study at this point, flash cards are a waste of time.  you need results.  come with weird ways to remember the words.  use anything strange or crazy that you can.  study for an hour, take a fifteen minute break and repeat.  this will allow you to learn all the words without undue suffering.  good luck!
