We all have different ways of learning and remembering, which aren't necessarily the same. One of the great things about college if you will be living in a group setting (dorm, sorority, co-op, etc.) is the increased opportunity to discover how others manage to remember and learn. You should also be thinking about the field you go into and what is required to qualify and perform in it. If
it requires a lot of remembering a long list of data and specific information , then perhaps you should be looking at another field where learning the hows and whys are more important than the specific data points.
Third thing to consider is whether your problem is remembering or taking written tests. Person who used to work for me froze up whenever she had to take a written test from her earliest school days. Her dad used to go in and fight the school to give her an oral exam rather than a written exam. When she worked for me she already had her master's degree. She recently decided to go back for her doctorate and gets her PhD this Saturday.
