Best way to change your character.
- Whenever you are standing in a position of argument are any moment, just imagine that one of your character is watching your style & response and another character is watching behind you the things going on and the another one is your real HERO character. This way we can groom up.

Learning is a continuous process
- We all are students. Learn with enthusiasm. That is the key point. Then apply what you studied with what you have learned now and what you know already. That's it!

Good..but incomplete
- You miss one of the most important things. Exercise. Exercise = higher O2 = BDNF production = neurogenesis in hippocampus (among other good things) = better working memory. I go over in more detail here: http://www.brainlings.com/2011/11/hi-how-to-improve-your-memory/

Natural Memory Boosters
- Further advice: sufficient B12 intake, ginseng, rosemary, sage, hemp seeds, green tea. I'm sure there are many more memory boosters out there for the taking. If you know of one, please share (natural ones are my personal favs.)!

Mnemonics
- I like to use mnemonics to remember difficult equations that I have learned the previous day. Coming up with short words that represent different parts of the equation makes it much easier to remember.

Make a name
- For questions that have several amswers like "types of social stratification" take first letter of each answer and make a name like class, caste,ethnicity,gender, race would be CCEGENRR OR CCEGENDERR.

Remembering Names
- When I am trying to remember a person's name, I run through the alphabet in my head. The letter that the person's name begins with will usually jump out to me, and 9 times out of 10 I'll remember their full name.

Director APTAC
- I like to use Mnemonic associations. I like to use link lists, numeric association lists. I have studied the books by Harry Loraynne and found them very useful. they are The Memory Book, The Page a Minute Memory Book and The Super Power Memory Book. I have read other books as well but I find Harry Loryanne to be the best.

Memory tip
- In my opinion, the best way of memorizing is to first read, underline the matter, write down on your note book in own handwriting, at last revise it in 24 hours. This especially before sleeping, since you can learn unconsciously.

Asociation
- I try to asociate new information with already learned ones and it helps me acquire the new one.

Listen, Write, Read
- The memory technique that works best for me is what I like to call "Listen, Write, Read." Basically, I hear something, I write it down and then I read my notes again later. This strategy really seems to cement information in my memory.
