Does the Forgetting curve helpful?

1. After reading the Forgetting curve, i realized that reviewing a topic learned in class would really help me afterwards. I usually never study or neither take extra time to check a problem or a lesson that we`ve learned that day or the day before. Study habbits are usually really important which can efficiently shows your skills in the subject. i rarely study if i dont have a test or quiz, which is not a good thing because if i did, i could be more prepared and could undertand more in the part im struggling.

2. Pre-Calculus has been a struggle for me throughout the year. I`ve noticed that i`m not very good at it, but i think at least i`ve tried to study and learn the concepts, eventhough the effort most of the time is not reflected. working with word problems and graphs have given me a hard time. I sometimes get really confused in the intersection of lines, and the ability to use the domain and range. What is the easier way to understand a word problem and apply it to an equation?

When I read a word problem, I write down all the information that they give me in a list, and then I double check. Then, I read the problem again and identify the question, what do I have to find out. After I know what I have to find out, I look at the information I have and think of ways I can use that information to find out what I need.
