Indeed. I find the best way to prepare…is to get rid of the clutter in your head. Start fresh…but keep a few things you might need…like basic math…and english. can’t forget english. You forget how to speak, you’re pretty much stuck in the mud (I can’t use most of my normal sayings here, as many of them use offensive language, and don’t translate into “appropriate jargon” very well) :/

strange, people think i have short term memory loss because of this.
i remember things like biff, when my anime is on, song lyrics, but i cant remember (*wait, i’ll need a list for this*):
1. Dates, of any kind.
a. deadlines
b. birthdays, including my own
c. meetings, ect.
2. Things I will never need to know
a. Geography
b. P.E. Teaching points
c. other stuff
3. Punishments
a. detentions and the like
b. what gives me punishments (*also see 1a.*)
i could go on, at the risk of boring all of the readers to daeth and ultimately ruining The Book of Biff’s popularity.

It’s especially hard to remember to use periods.

To be honest, I never even tried to retain the information from any of my courses. At least not long-term. I just wanted the grades so I crammed, took the test and forgot. The things I’ve actually wanted to remember came from leisurely reading and playing music. Or shopping.

@RPharazon
thas the sine law a/sin(B)=b/sin(B)
and the useable form is a=bsin(B)/sin(B) or A=arcsin(sin(B)a/b)

cosine law is a^2 = b^2 + c^2 – 2bccos(A)

^2 being squared and arcsin is aslo know as sin^-1

the problem is actually learning stuff
lol

We don’t actually forget anything. Its just the neural paths to the information weaken, so it’s hard to access. That’s why its so much easier to relearn something.

Higher ed is touted as a necessity, yet if we can’t remember what we learned what good is it! Biff’s modifications seem to be, “in, out and all about…”

I remember the sciences and maths really well… maybe that is why i am going to U for physics, anything else just slips out of my mind as if it was a civ with a hole in it.

I can’t remember the Sine or Cosine laws anymore.
Well, I know the entire a/cos(a) = b/cos(b) bit, but I can’t remember how to get them into usable form. Something like (cos(a)*b)/cosec(a) = b or something odd like that.
