Are You Putting Your Clep Test Memory At Risk?

When it comes to remembering important materials for your CLEP test

, how do you go about it?

Do you prefer the "renote" method, where you read a passage over and over until the words are practically burned into your brain? Do you make an outline of important details and hope that the act of writing it out will somehow form into long-term memory?

Or do you just look over your study guide and hope that your eyes have developed a new superpower - one where you can retain information just by looking at it.

It sounds like pretty run-of-the-mill memorization methods. In fact, these methods may have even helped you out on your high school pop quizzes and tests.

But here's a newsflash: this exam is unlike any kind of test you've ever taken before. You can't "study" for it. You can't know for sure what you'll be tested on. The only thing you do know for certain is this...

...There are certain memory myths out there that are holding you back from your ultimate CLEP test score.

The Biggest CLEP Memory Myths - Exposed!

There's no use wondering what memory myths you've fallen for, because I can guarantee that you've already done so. Now is not the time to reflect on it - it's time for some bona fide action that'll save your study before it's too late.

Want to know that the biggest memory myth culprits are? Take a look at these below - I guarantee that you'll never look at your test prep in the same way again:

*If you've heard that repetition helps to improve your CLEP test memory, then think again. Studies have shown that repetition only helps to cement short-term memory. If you want to transfer those math formulas or historical dates to your long-term memory, then you're better off with spaced repetition. This method highlights reviewing your test material at time intervals, rather than all at once.

*If you've heard of the expression that "a picture's worth a thousand words," then you might think that visualization techniques are crucial for successful test prep. Not so - these visual methods are only useful if that's the type of learner you are. If you remember more information through reading or listening, then you're better off pursuing these tactics instead.

*Experts once thought that the human memory functioned better when we learned information in chunks of seven. However, new research has shown that even this might be too much for our memories to handle. Test prep experts now recommend studying important information in chunks of two or three, rather than the "magical" seven.

*Psychologists once believed that high levels of confidence could improve a test taker's ability to memorize and retain information. However, it's been shown that confidence has nothing to do with information retention and recall. After all, even a person with low confidence will do far better on their CLEP test than a confident test taker who didn't study.
