Ever wondered how #memory experts can instantly remember long digits of numbers but you are still struggling to learn everything you need for an exam? Well in today's video I'm going to cover how we can hack how we learn and #remember things for longer by understanding how our memory works.
Now when we're #studying for exams it's stressful as you are being asked to understand and remember key concepts which you then need to be able to apply to score top grades and advance in your education, work and generally life. Exams are set by schools, universities and any education system as a way to gauge knowledge and set standards by assessing you practice under test conditions but due to their impact on your life they often feel more scary than helpful. In technical terms studying is about taking information and packaging it in our memory and practising is about our ability to retrieve or recall that information and apply it when it matters.
