Here's how to do it, whether it's for tomorrow or for next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-mc-sticky-mint is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In short<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Break the list into batches of 5 to 10 words.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Hide the answer and test yourself, every time.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Set aside the words you miss and work on them again.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Several short passes, a few hours or a few days apart.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If the test is in a week<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That's the ideal situation.
