Quite timely too, I've recently started my revision. :) I've mastered the peg system as well as the loci system and I find it massively useful when revising - that's how I'm currently doing it, so nice point on adding the peg system.

The only way I could learn math in school was by SEEING the numbers and the problems. Never could do it just with logic. I like that they've discovered that doodling actually helps us to learn too. I really agree with this. Yep, you guessed it, I'm a doodler. And guess what, when I go back and look at my old school binders and look at the doodles, I remember what class I was in, who was in the class with me and a lot about what we were learning in that moment! Wild! Yes, I am definitely a picture person.

Great post- these are all fantastic tips for learning - which, in my opinion is vital for so much more than just "acing exams". Number 1 reminds me of something else that works for me. I think of "learning around" whatever I am currently studying- what I mean by this is that I try to find related material that is not necessarily "on the test"- opinion pieces, magazine articles, blog entries, etc. By experiencing what other people think about or have learned about whatever topic it is that I am interested in, it helps to give me a "big picture", conceptual understanding of the subject. Keep up the nice work! Thanks. Hi !

I teach at a local college and my understanding of a subject improves a lot after I teach it. Writing works the same way for me and that's one reason why I love blogging.

So your post makes a lot of sense for me. What it has worked the best for me is becoming a teacher. When I teach what I am trying to learn or remember, I understand everything faster and better. You must understand the whole topic if you want to show it to somebody. This works wonders for me! Hi Scott,
