Thanx for your reply, Mike! But I must confess, I can't quite see myself doing as you suggested - I am not sure how visualisation techniques are going to help recall in an exam situation. I thought visualisation was more a method of anxiety/emotion control - so it might help me be calm and relaxed and FEELING confident. Are you suggesting it might actually help my information processing as well?
Can you also tell me a bit more specifically how these techniques helped you? I am willing for my skepticism to be toppled!
