RELAX

THE THINKING BRIAN FUNCTIONS BEST WHEN YOU ARE RELAXED FEE FROM STRESS.

BE ACTIVE

READ OUT LOUT, DON`T BOTHER IF IT DISTURBS AT HOME. WALK WHILE YOU READ. DRWA CHARTS, WRITE AND REWRITE KEY IDEAS AND FORMULA..

TAKE BREAKS

IF YOU HAVE 3 HOURS TO READ, BREAK IT INTO 3 PARTS 1 HOUR FOLLOWED BY 10 MINUTE BREAK. STUDIES INDICATE THAT YOU CAN`T CONCENTRATE FOR MORE THAN 1 HOUR MINUTES ON THE TROT..

TAKE TESTS

WHY DO WE PUSH THINGS INTO MEMORY, BECAUSE WE WOULD LIKE TO RECALL IT WHEN THE NEED ARISES. HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU WILL BE ABLE TO RECALL WHEN YOU NEED IT? SIMPLE. TAKE TESTS PERIODICALLY AND MAKE REPEATED ATTEMPTS IN RECALLING. REGULAR RECALL IMPROVES MEMORY. PRACTICE MAKES A MAN PERFECT.

USE FLASH CARDS

FLASH CARDS FACILITATE CONSTANT REVIEW AND INSTANTLY HELP TP CHECK OUPUT. RULES, PRINCIPLES, FORMULAE SHOULD ALL GO INTO IT. INVENT ACRONYMS TO MAKE THE RECALLING PROCESS EASY.(THE MEMORY MODEL)

SYSTEMATIC REVISION

YOU SHOULD REVISE SHORTLY AFTER THE LEARNING PERIOD. AT FIRST, SAY WITHIN 10 MINUTES AFTER LEARNING AND THEN, AGAIN, WITHINT THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THE REASON: WHEN YOU FINISH LEARNING, THE BRIAN HAS NOT HAD ENOUGH TIME TO ORGANISE AND STORE EVERYTHING. IT NEEDS A FEW MINUTES TO STORE, ORGANISE AND INTEGRATE TJE DATA. STUDIES SHOW THAT 82% OF WHAT YOU LEARN TODAY CAN BE FORGOTTEN IN 24 HOURS IF YOU DO NOT MAKE A SPECIAL EFFORT TO REMEMBER IT. YOU CAN IMPORVE YOUR MEMORY OF A LECTURE MANIFOLD BY REVIWING THE MATERIAL IMMEDIATELY AFTER IT, THEN REPEAT THE REVIEW AFTER AN HOUR, A DAY, A WEEK, AND A MONTH..(THE FORGETTING CURVE)

SLEEP ON IT

THE BRIAN USE YOUR DOZING PERIOD TO CONSOLIDATE THINGS IN THE MEMORY. WHAT YOU REVIEW IMMEDIATELY BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP IS WHAT YOUR BRAIN WILL MOST QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY  FILE AWAY. SO REVIEW JUST BEFORE SLEEP.(THE SLEEP EFFECT)
