What do you expect?
When you go to the cinema you plan beforehand what you’re going to see

Time goes at varying speeds
With deadlines to meet time can weigh very heavily on your mindIf you’re bored it really drags

Memory checkYour brain has about 100 billion active neurons or nerve-cells. Each one grows branches like a tree, to store information: up to 20,000 branch like dendrites with each cell. Each connects to other cells by sending electrical-chemical messages along a long axon.
![Page 11: Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070303/54b39cdc4a795944738b4885/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Memory check
100 billion neurons
Assume an average of 2 seconds to count each number and 8 hours a day downtime for essential functions:
16rs =3600 x 16 secs
= 57600 secs
= 28880 numbers
With 365.25 days each year it is possible to count 10,519,200 numbers per year
which is 1,051,920,00 per 100 years
so 100 bilion would take slightly less than 10,000 years to count
Could you count to 100 billion?

If you found the last exercise difficult it might be because of your learning style

Preferred Learning Styles
Some students are very visual:They have to see everything.
Others don’t want to see something written down: they are the more auditory types.Others are kinaesthetic: they have to stand and move.

exaggerate information.•Try to experience what you are

All animals can be divided into two types, those that have an internal backbone and those which do not have an internal backbone. Animals that have an internal backbone can further be divided into those that have a constant body temperature and those that have a body temperature which keeps changing. Some animals which have a constant body temperature are birds and mammals. Animals such as fish, amphibians and reptiles have a changing body temperature.
Those animals with no internal backbone can also be divided into two types; animals with only one cell and animals with many cells. Animals with only one cell are called microscopic animals. Some animals have no backbone have a jointed hard covering over their body. Animals such as insects, spiders and crabs are of this type. There are also some animals with no backbone and no jointed covering. Examples of this type are worms and snails.

The information should be placed ON the lines of the A-map,
( so your mind can find the information more easily)

Remember and understand things by finding the keywords/storyline first.
Enter the information into your brain using your imagination in a logical way.
Visualise as much as possible.
I ncorporate a continuous review of your notes into your schedule.
Easy does it – relaxed concentration is the key to excellence!
W ork in short bursts: 30-45 minutes then 5 minutes stretch break for greater levels of understanding and memorising.
