Cliffs Memory Power for Exams is a book that is absolutely perfect for high school and college students. In high school and college, students are faced with a lot of tests and quizzes that they have to memorize information for. This memorization can take hours of reading and re-reading information. Cliffs Memory Power for Exams gives you numerous strategies to help you remember what you need to ace all your tests and quizzes. A lot of people including myself highlight either too much or too little when they are reading pages with a lot of heavy information in every sentence, such as a textbook. HIghlighting too much on the page leaves the reader with too much to remember. too much to remember can take hours to remember and waste a lot of time. This book is a great way to learn how to highlight only the important information on the page and then, how to make sure that you remember that! instead of spending hours doing drills, you can develop a device to help you remember what you need to know! this is useful because students can often get nervous right before a test and forget everything they studied. But a way of remembering such as a word can help a lot. For example, Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally is a trick for remembering Parenthisis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division Addition and Subtraction for a math test. This book doesn't just teach you how to make up your own tricks for remembering useful information but it also gives you tricks for remembering information about subjects like chemistry and biology. I would recommend this book for any student or any test taker because it is very useful.
