Master the Rules of Memorization
Whether you learn better by hearing, by seeing, by feeling, or by any combination of these, the same basic rules apply. They apply to every form of learning and study.
The amount of energy stored in each memory determines how fast and how well you learn it,. and for how long and how easily it will be recalled. That energy is then exchanged through resonance with other related memories, and creates the process we call thinking.
The Accelerated Learning System teaches you simple rules, which you should use regularly, even habitually.
Understand and avoid Memory Blocks. Energy also causes memory blocks, like tip-of-the-tongue experiences. Many useful, even essential memories can be blocked without you being aware of it. This can be disastrous in an examination. Understand how and why memory blocks occur, and how to avoid them..
The Rules of Memorization and remembering are explained fully in the Study Guide:
‘The Student’s Guide to Study’
Special help for Parents Children in pre-school and Primary School years often experience learning, adjustment, and attitude problems, which can also lead to behavioural problems. In the first appendix, the Study Guide provides parents with a successful drug-free program they can use at home.(page 18 explains more)
Intuition You will already be using intuition without realizing it. You should train yourself to consciously use this powerful tool to learn, create, and problem solve. The second appendix of the Study Guide explains why and how. (page 19 for Intuition)

Avoid Procrastination by learning study tips
The University Centre for Academic Excellence and Stephanie Lazzaro point out: Over our academic careers, we as students have been taught different techniques to help study. Some techniques work for some people while others struggle to find the right technique for them. Learning how to study correctly and efficiently is just as important as learning the material you are studying. Studying, like everything else, takes discipline. It is essential to train yourself in what you should be doing and what you shouldn't. Taking time to study should be a daily habit like hygiene. Students review their notes every day to help them retain and learn the material better. The crucial habits that suppress students' success are procrastination and time management. Putting things off until tomorrow makes the easiest task harder than it needs to be. If procrastination is a habit of yours, forget it. Focus on the tasks and project at hand and build from there. Studying affects not only the outcome for a class but the future. Students blame the teachers for giving them a certain grade, but the truth is students earn the grade they receive. If a student doesn't learn how to study correctly and efficiently his or her grades will reflect that. It is ultimately up to the student to make sure he or she knows how to study.
Studying in Groups can be more effective: Investigations at Washington State University have shown that studying in groups helps students learn more effectively. Associate professor Keith Sawyer says, 'When students hear the voice of the professor and are taking notes, they are so busy writing that it's hard for them to really absorb the material. What happens in the study group is that through the interaction dynamics students can absorb the lecture notes and make them their own. For instance, in a group of 4 students, they would read verbatim out of their notes, then paraphrase it to the rest of the group'. (Newswise 20.7.06) The Study Guide suggests teaming up with another student and teaching each other - you can't teach someone else unless you thoroughly understand the subject yourself - so teaching is a way to learn, understand, and remember the subject.
