Ten Awesome Memory Techniques for Standardized Test Taking

Ten Awesome Memory Techniques for Standardized Test Taking Improving Academic Performance Sometimes test preparation requires memorization. For example, the SAT and GRE require building your vocabulary. Here are some tried and true memory techniques. The Roman Technique This technique involves setting what you want to remember to the layout of something you’re very familiar with, like your childhood home or route to school. So imagine, for example, that you want to remember your to-do list. Say your first item was to telephone the GRE board to set your test appointment. You might visualize your front door opening but having tons of phones blocking the passage way. Say your second thing on your to-do list is to buy paper. You could imagine your hallway with paper in the picture frames instead of the portraits that normally went there. The idea is to walk through your home putting what you want to remember along the route. Because our spatial memory is more long term memory versus short term memory, this helps us organize and remember the data. Study in the Same Place Studies have shown that studying in the same place where you take the test helps memory. We know this isn’t possible for the tests like the GRE and SAT. Luckily, just imagining the place you usually study while taking the test can help you remember the material you were studying. Take Frequent Breaks Researcher has shown that you remember the beginning and end of studying the most, so by taking a break every 20 minutes or so there can be multiple beginnings and ends. Chunking Chunking involves lumping things together when you can. For example, is it easier to remember 3-1-7-2-1-4 or think 3/17 and 2/14- St. Patrick’s Day and Valentine’s Day? Practice Retrieving the Memory Recent research has shown people remember things best when they practice retrieving the memory. The retrieval of memory leads to better memorization than focusing on storing the memory. Make the Memory Bizarre It is easier to remember something if you think of something strange. For example, if you want to remember the left anterior descending artery on the heart, you could picture a bunch of young boys (“LAD”s) crawling all around the heart. Use All of Your Senses If you are trying to learn something, bring as many senses into it as you can. How does it look, feel, smell, sound etc.? Focus On What You’re Trying to Learn It takes eight seconds of extreme concentration on average to imprint a memory. Make sure you study somewhere with very little distractions so that you can focus completely on what you are trying to learn. Rhyme Rhyming the information makes it easier to memorize. For example, if you were trying to memorize the definition of alacrity (which is cheerful readiness) you might think: “Someone with alacrity has the capacity to do tasks happily and succeed academically and financially.” Know the Key Points Research has shown that outlining can help a lot with memorization because it boils down the information to key points. It can also be helpful to have an image with the most important points exaggerated or use a different color for the most important points. hbspt.cta._relativeUrls=true;hbspt.cta.load(215486, '6baac2ae-05a3-4610-9d1f-265c8cbd809f', {});

5 Reasons to Not Buy the New iPhone 5

5 Reasons to Not Buy the New iPhone 5 Photo by medithIT via Flickr.com 2)  It’s not an innovative technological upgrade After the presentation for the iPhone 5 was over, many technology journalists scratched their heads, asking, “Is that it?” While the new iPhone is an improvement over past iterations, there is no significant jump in technology. The presentation showed nothing new, groundbreaking, or innovative. There was no Siri or vastly improved camera features. iOS6 isn’t a major upgrade over iOS5. Quadcore processors? Welcome to 2011, Apple. It’s a new phone, but technically, at this point, it’s just playing catch up with Android. 3)  Samsung may be suing Apple While Apple has been busy collecting the billion dollars won in a patent-infringement case against Samsung, it looks like Samsung might be looking to retaliate. Samsung seems to be making the claim that Apple has infringed on their patents concerning 4G LTE technology. What does this mean for the consumer? While we don’t know the full extent of what could happen, it’s certainly possible that the iPhone 5 could be pulled from stores just like the Samsung Galaxy Tab. 4)  The design is outdated While the new iPhone is thinner and lighter than its predecessors, it’s still the same old iPhone design. For a company that prides itself so much on ingenuity and balance in design, this is really becoming stale. It’s not a companywide movement; however, just take a look at the constantly evolving iPod Nano line. While the screen size has finally been enlarged, at 4”, it’s still a tiny screen compared to most competitors’ phones. 5)  The iPhone 4S is still a great phone With the release of the iPhone 5, the 4S will likely see a price drop. If you really want an iPhone that bad, it’s probably worth it to just get the 2011 model. It doesn’t have 4G LTE, but it’s got Siri, a great camera, and a rock-solid operating system. The iPhone 5 simply is not a good enough improvement to justify its price.

Who Is Included In Inclusive Illinois

Who Is Included In Inclusive Illinois Source: http://www.maths.leeds.ac.uk/undergraduate/study-abroad/partner-institutions.html There has been a lot of talk about “Inclusive Illinois” in the past year, and it has sparked a debate on what this slogan means, and how we can bring it to life here at the University of Illinois. Last January the university made national news (and Buzzfeed’s highlight reel) when students angry about the lack of a snow day sent out racist tweets about Chancellor Wise. The Chancellor graciously replied that although the tweets were offensive, and far less than she would expect from students, they were a form of protected speech. It was important, she said, that the university “should be home to diverse ideas and differing perspectives, where robust â€" and even intense â€" debate and disagreement are welcomed.” Fast-forward six months to the controversy surrounding the hiring of Professor Steven Salaita, when Dr. Salaita was “unhired” for posting tweets denouncing the Israeli bombing of Gaza. Inclusive Illinois was invoked on both sides of the controversy. Pro-Israel activists denounced Salaita as an anti-Semite (ironic given that several of the tweets were directly about overuse of that label) and said they would feel unsafe if he was on campus. On the other side proponents of academic freedom called for a university that would respect all views, reminding Chancellor Wise of her statements about diverse ideas and different perspectives made in January. Questions of donor influence, the opinions of Palestinian Americans, faculty hiring procedures and the difference between personal and professional spheres erupted into a protest movement that has put the university on the defensive in these recent months. At the center of all of these questions- what does it mean to be inclusive? Who are we including? What is diversity? This month the Students for Justice in Palestine Club has held several meetings about bringing Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (commonly referred to as BDS) against Israel to campus in response to the recent conflict in Gaza. Two days after their first meeting, a resolution was on the floor of the student senate to disallow any BDS campaigns on the grounds that they violated the principles of Inclusive Illinois, despite the fact that traditionally boycotting has been one of the most famous forms of non-violent protest (think Montgomery Bus Boycott). I don’t have the ultimate answer to what Inclusive Illinois means, or what it should. On all of these (and the many other) issues that we face as a university, there are widely differing viewpoints. But I think its time we sat down and realized that Inclusive Illinois is quickly becoming little more than a cute alliteration. It is continuously co-oped for the purposes of the person speaking, with little deeper investigation of a commitment by the university community to diversity, including a diversity of ideas. The use of Inclusive Illinois to justify or deride every decision on campus in the last semester has simply served to water it down. Now what was once a goal and a promise has become little more than a slogan.
