Mind Mapping makes Memorization and Passing Exams Easier

Mind maps are absolutely fantastic at summarizing a lot of information. The use of connecting branches, colors, graphics and keywords really helps your memory. You get all the information down in one place, and it makes perfect sense to you, because it's suited to your learning style.

A single picture or word can make a big difference when doing an exam. Just having that icon in your mind can help your remember 5 or 6 important points that give you extra marks.

Researchers Mastropieri and Scruggs have identified eight guidelines for improving memorization using conscious strategies:

1. Increase attention,

2. Promote external memory such as in using a student calendar,

3. Enhance meaningfulness (make it personal),

4. Use pictures,

5. Minimize interference,

6. Promote active manipulation,

7. Promote active reasoning (ask questions), and

8. Increase the amount of practice

Mind Maps address each one of these elements to help you remember.

It's a really good feeling to be sitting in an exam knowing exactly what to write next and being able to give a great answer to every question.
