“first of all congratulations for your exams and diplomas” Thanks.
The journey method may seem long-winded and slow but its not.
If you were to use this method to memorise the word pairs, your recall would be 100% perfect every time.
The only problem I had with the journey method was actually finding suitable journeys. With the Dominic O’Brien memory box he includes a journey map-book that is complete with 4 journeys and 25 storage locations in each. (Total = 100 locations)
When I used the peg system I usually forgot the first item which would mess everything else up, using this system, if I mentally walk through a location I can remember everything stored there.
When I study for an exam:
I memorise, then I review my journey.
I write everything down I know about the exam topic in blue pen.
Then I mark it with a red one filling in everything I missed.
In doing this I can see where my weakness in my journey is. I then concentrate on this are and repeat the process and move on to the next question/topic.
