If you couldn't answer the question correctly, then you must determine whether it's because you didn't know the first, second, or third points that were listed.   If that's a problem, then you're not remembering the fact base you must have.  In a broad sense this is about memorization for some people....can you remember "lots of stuff?"  If not why not?

Are you not organizing the facts properly or effectively?   Do you make lists where appropriate?   Do you outline material where appropriate.  Do you use mental images to help you remember?   If you didn't know those first, second, or third points that were listed, would something like the table below help?  Whatever study device works for you, fine.... as long as it works.   But if you're reading this because you couldn't answer the question, then whatever you've been doing hasn't worked.
