LEARN HOW YOU REMEMBER 

In order to do well in your exams and with revision you need to be clear about what it is you need to know. This is simple process, just follow our simple step by step guide. 

THE TEST - This is a little strange but trust us it works!

Go to a quiet room and close your eyes. Think hard about what you had for breakfast today. Really focus on what your brain is feeing back to you. What signals or feelings are coming back strongest about that memory? Is it...

THE SOUND - Can you hear the sound of your breakfast cooking/crunching or hear conversations that you were having at breakfast or about breakfast? If so then you are an Auditory Learner. This means that you learn and remember sounds and spoken words the best. Typically an auditory-dominant learner prefers listening to what is being presented. He or she responds best to voices, for example, in a lecture or group discussion. Hearing his own voice repeating something back to a tutor or trainer is also helpful.

THE IMAGE - Can you see your breakfast or see the room that you were in the strongest? Or can you see the scene happening again like a silent movie? If so then you are a Visual Learner. This means that you learn and remember images, colour and video best.  Typically a visually-dominant learner absorbs and retains information better when it is presented in, for example, pictures, diagrams and charts.

THE FEELING - Can you feel your breakfast in your mouth? Can you taste your breakfast again? Can you feel it? If so you are a Kinaesthetic Learner. This means that you learn and remember things that you have experiences best. Typically a kinaesthetic-dominant learner prefers a physical experience. She likes a "hands-on" approach and responds well to being able to touch or feel an object or learning prop.

WRITTEN WORDS - Can you see words that you have read during your breakfast? Maybe from the packaging of the food or from a newspaper? If so you are Linguistic Learner. This means that you learn and remember language the best, usually both spoken and written words.Typically a linguistic-dominant learner uses repetition of words and writing. Clearly, there is an overlap with visual and auditory styles, as words and writing can be both, but, commonly, a person who prefers to learn this way remembers or organizes things best in his mind by taking down notes.
