Short term memory may help on an upcoming test. But, to be functional it is important to move that learning to long term memory. This is done by recalling, several times -- using recall and repetition until you have reached this goal. Recall is particularly important. I recall studying spelling words, as a child, by writing them, then covering them up and writing them again. Doing this until I was successful.
