Dear Non-parents,
Do you remember, I mentioned that there is no such thing as a "poor memory"; only a trained or untrained one?
The analogy I always give to my students is that our brains are like our muscles. In order to strengthen them, we go to the gym and lift weights. Likewise, for our brains, we strengthen them by remembering information.So, the next question will be, how do I even start this training of remembering information?
A lot of time I received questions like, "Hey Kenneth, can you memorize the entire textbook?" To which, my reply would be "Well why not? But is there a need to?"
Often, we worried about the amount of information we need to memorize and lose focus on what the important thing is. This is the actual amount of information we need to remember.
On the left is a screenshot of a conversation between my student and I. She also experienced this same problem as most do, which is too much information to memorize.
So, a simple workabout is to first identify the way you are being tested on the content to accurately determine the actual amount of information you need to remember.
For example, if it was a MCQ (Multiple Choice Question), would you need to remember word for word? Or just the key points to sufficiently identify the right option?
From there on, we could easily memorized the key points using memory techniques.
With that said, you can check out the services that we provide here.
