From the Back Cover

In School you are required to lean large amount of information on many topics. But, as if that task were not enough, you also must quickly and accurately recall selected information for exams.
Exams are artificial, high-pressure situations. Few similar experiences exist outside the school setting. The memory systems described in this book will:

• Help you prepare for exams taken in school and elsewhere.
• Enable you to quickly and accurately recall the information you need to do well.
• Make studying easier and perhaps even more enjoyable for you.

  While a student, I used these memory systems with great success. As a study-skills counselor, I have taught these methods to thousands of students. I hope you will find them equally helpful William G. Browning, Ph.D.
