Do you think that you are ready for exams?

Memorization is the learning method to recall important items and to store particular data in our heads. But do you think that you can able to do it without worrying about exams? Here are some important tips to help you improve your memory:

1. Mind Maps: Write the subject matter in the center of the page and then draw branches off of the central topic. On each of these branches, write the name of the idea that links with the main subject. Then colored it with bright coloured crayons. For example, YELLOW will be the color of your main subject and BLUE will be the color of your branches. The branches help your brain associate all of the connected ideas to your subject, so you will have lots to write about!

2. Repetition: "Try and try until you succeed!" The more you practice you made, the easier it gets to remember. Try to keep chipping away and give yourself reasonable breaks so that, it doesn't become painful. Try to repeat it 4-5 times a day.

3. Memorize with your favorite hobbies: Hobbies such as dance, draw, sports and revising to music can all help you with your focus and concentration as they require you to learn routines and become disciplined.

Here's an example of a video clip from "Pinky and the Brain" that will help you to memorize the parts of the brain:



4. Memory Movies: If you have watched "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief", You might as well recalled the familiar names from Greek Mythology, such as Centaur, Minotaur, Zeus, Aphrodite, Anthena, etc. What you are trying to learn as the scenes from a movie and make it as vivid as possible. Draw an image that reminds you of your scene. Then all you need to do is press replay in your head when you are in the exam room.

5. MP3 player: Record your lines or subjects on to MP3, so you can listen to them. This may be more relaxing than trying to study from textbooks and will reach your subconscious rather like when you listen to a song.

6. Mnemonic: You can write a very short poem or a special word used to help a person remember something, particularly lists, but they may be visual, kinesthetic or auditory.

7. Mnemonic Link System: A method used to remember lists, based on creating an association between the elements of that list. For example, if you wished to remember common drugs(Tylenol, Amlodipine, Isoniazid, Myra-E), then you could create a link system, such as a story about a girl named Tyle (Tylenol) said to Amy (Amlodipine), "I so (Isoniazid) Myra, EEEE!!!" (Myra-E).

8. A Peg System: A technique used to memorize list of words that are easy to associate with the numbers they represent (1 to 10, 1-1000, etc.). Those objects form the "pegs" of the system. a peglist can be memorized one at a time and can be used over and over every time a list of items needs to be memorized. It is created from letters of the alphabet or from rhymes are very simple to learn, but are limited in the number of pegs they can produce.



Hmmm, who says cartoons don't teach anything?
