By Maria Markella The memory technique discussed in this article could help you to improve your grades when writing exams. The technique is designed to empower the revision capabilities of an individual (aka you). So keep reading. When writing exams you need to quickly recall large amounts of information. It is possible to overuse your brain during the learning process, so here is a technique to help you succeed. What you need to do is create what I like to call an 'information cloud'. What is an Information Cloud? For every particular subject/chapter/book you study, you need to create a list of important points. This will be your info-map. This list can be enhanced and will grow in size as time goes by and you study even more. When studying for exams, you usually need to read something twice or even more in order to understand and absorb the information. So when reading for the first time, you should create a basic list outlining the most important things. By nature your brain will be ready to absorb even more information easier second time you read it. Enhance your list and keep adding information to it. Make sure that you take notes about what you read so that it is available to you later through the information cloud. After finishing your list, you can create labels for every significant point and rewrite the list in an ascending/descending order, placing the most important information on top of your list. It's better to have a numbered list. By writing numbers next to the labels, your brain automatically associates the number with the specific label; thus, you have better chances of remembering every item of information contained in your cloud. After you are finished with all the writing, it's time to create an image of the information cloud in your mind. Try to visualize the image of the paper in your mind. Imagine it full of the information you've written. Imagine recalling all items from the information cloud easily and effectively. Recalling information from the cloud can then be as easy as running through a mnemonic in your mind. In the end you will be ready to tackle any subject. Always keep your information cloud handy and look at it often to keep the image in your mind alive and kicking.
