You know, AlexK, that's a very good way of putting it. Thus it logically follows that in order to more easily get the highest possible grade on a test, activate the information as fully as possible! 
I sure ought to have done that on my English test on The Scarlet Letter. The strange thing is that I probably could have done much better on it if only I had finished it and not been so nervous about the time pressure. I'm sure that having activated the book more recently would have aided in this.
I still have yet to bring in Mind Mapping as an activation technique, but since I used them to (hopefully) ace AP American midterm exam, it ought to be easy to figure out
Have a nice day, and hope you had a Happy Christmas (instead of a drunken, American "Merry" Christmas ;-))
