    About this ebook

    Working ‘hard’ is not enough! To be an effective student, you want to work ‘smart’.
    Being a successful student is far more about being a smart user of effective strategies than about being 'smart'. In Effective Notetaking and Mnemonics for Study, Dr McPherson showed readers many strategies for improving understanding and memory. But these on their own can only take you so far, if you don’t know how to cement that information into your brain for the long term.
    In this new book, Dr McPherson explains the 10 principles of effective practice and revision.
    Few students know how to learn effectively, which is why they waste so much time going over and over material, as they try to hammer it into their heads. But you don’t need to spend all that time, and you don’t need to endure such boredom. What you need to do is understand how to review your learning in the most optimal way. Using examples from science, math, history, foreign languages, and skill learning, that is what this book aims to teach you.
    As always with the Mempowered books, this book doesn't re-hash the same tired advice that's been peddled for so long, but uses the latest cognitive and educational research to show you what to do to maximize your learning.
    This book is for students who are serious about being successful in study, and teachers who want to know how best to help their students learn.

    Fiona McPherson

    Fiona McPherson has a PhD in cognitive psychology from the University of Otago (New Zealand). Her first book, The Memory Key, published in 1999, was written in response to what she saw as a lack of practical advice on how to improve memory and learning skills that was based on the latest cognitive research. Since that time, she has continued to provide such advice, through an extensive website (www.memory-key.com), and several books focused on specific memory and learning skills.

      In this information-rich world many of us feel like we can should learn a lot the whole time. But some studies suggest that we lose as much as 90% of it. So how do we fix that? By slowing down! There’s a famous quote often attributed to Einstein that
