learn easily
 Linear notes or lines does not apply the
principals of memory hence forget easily

10. Condensing the information
• Facts :
• Out of 100 per cent of your lesson only 20
percent is required for you to remember and put
it back in your paper. Rest 80% will follow on its
on.
• These are called the key words
• If you are able to get and learn this 20%
• then your 90% work is done.

11. Condensing the information
Facts :
• Remember that Key words are mostly Noun,
verb, adverb, adjectives, Numbers
• How to get this 20 percent is important
• Read actively and carefully to know what is
important to remember

and filtering it.

short, easy-to-remember visual and linguistic
cues, students are able to remember more of
what they see and draw than what they read
and hear.
