tIn Harry Lorayne's Super Memory Super Student, the book gives you many memory techniques to improve your memory and save time and effort. Harry Lorayne was a magician and the world’s premier authority on memory training. He was very popular for demonstrating his memory devices and also appeared on many television shows. Harry Lorayne wrote this book to tell you that you cannot learn without memory, and that is why he gives out many memory techniques to help you learn more efficiently. This is a very effective book that helps you learn the memory devices easier than ever with the clear instructions I would recommend this book to students at high school and college or people who want to finish their degree because of the many words, dates, and formulas you have to remember and this book makes it easier.
tSuper Memory Super Student contains many useful memory techniques to help you learn it better and be able to save you time. There is the Link System of Memory, which is how you would memorize a list of words in just five minutes. This technique can help you memorize a list of words that can be as little as five words, or as much as thirty or forty words. Usually, it takes people years to be good at memorizing lists of words, but with this memory device, you can memorize lists of words in minutes. Another helpful technique would be the Peg System. The book says “If you know the sounds of the Phonetic Number/ Alphabet, you can come up with a word that will represent any number.” Because people learn letters better than numbers, Harry Lorayne created a system to replace the numbers with letters so that you can have a better way of digesting the information given to you.
tThis book can also help strengthen your memory in a clear and guiding way and these techniques can be used daily to impress someone or be used for studying. There is a sufficient amount of problems that will help you get a better understanding of what Harry is trying to teach you. The problems he asks you fill out will indeed help you strengthen your memory and you can always create more of those kinds of problems to help improve what you are learning. Also, these memory devices can help you daily. For example, the Link System. The Link System can help you remember long lists of words, so this can be applied to grocery shopping and more.
tOverall, Super Memory Super Student can help you. I can save your time, effort, and even helps you memorize it really well,

Harry Lorayne wrote the life-saving book for many students: Super Memory, Super Student. It helps anybody harness the power of memory. He is the world's premier authority on this field, so his ideas can be trusted. The context of this book applies to quizzes, tests, and work that requires you to remember details. The author promises students that their grades will be raised dramatically in thirty days if his tactics for memory are used. My point for the book review is to assess my comprehension of strategies that could better develop my brain on a wide range of topics.

Chapter 22 was my favorite of the whole book. It encapsulated every topic that could possibly be taught in school. Here, the author lays down facts that were picked up through the memorization strategies of his. This showed that mature memorization leads to advanced expertise.

The techniques that Harry Lorayne writes about actually work! Once you use a tactic to remember a certain detail, it stays for life. And they have been tested by non-believing students to be successful. The book covered a wide range of fields. It covered tips toward better memory for memorizing the U.S. presidents. Understanding vocabulary terms came at ease. And I could also remember the formulas for chemistry and the periodic table of elements. This ability to remember certain topics was due to the varying techniques. Word association, silly pictures or visuals, and the repetition increased capacity for extra knowledge.

After reading Super Memory - Super Student, I can better learn and express my knowledge when aided by Lorayne's all-purpose techniques. His imaginative approach to memory is odd, yet effective. I have and will utilize the tips from Super Memory.

Learn the Patterns
The Book Super Memory was created by Harry Lorayne, was created to help students with memorization. The book goes over some of the subjects that it aims to help you in like, vocabulary, names, and number. It also names some classes such as World history, math, and English. The book is helpful.
The book started off with describing one of the methods. She says “In order for you to remember any new thing. It must be associated, in some ridiculous way, with something you already know”. She labels some methods like “ One is to see an item larger than life- out of proportion”(pg 18) or “Exaggerated the number”(pg 18).
The Book has may examples of what you can use memorization in. some examples are for number, vocabulary, and history. The way you do it with a number is put a letter to each number. Or have the phrase that sounds like the number. She also has activities to do to help you continue to practice and remember.
I think that the most important chapters are Ch15 spelling, Ch17 memorize graphic material and Ch19 Formulas. Because you will need to know spelling for writing paper and for the test in English. Formulas for math and chemistry. If you want a job I science and memorizing graphic material. For going on road trips of sailing.
This book is very good for any person who is willing to take the time and do the activities and learning the methods. I recommend this book.

Super Memory Super Student written by Harry Lorayne would be a perfect book for a student that has trouble studying and memorizing for tests. Harry Lorayne is an expert on memory training. I read this book for my Chemistry class to help memorize key concepts in the class.

An integral piece of Lorayne’s book is mnemonics. I found these use when trying to memorize simple equations, but as the equations got long I think his methods become too long. While I found some of his ideas interesting I don't think all of them are useful.

Something that I didn’t enjoy about the book is how most of ideas build off of one and another and if you don’t enjoy one or find it hard to use it makes the other tips less useful. I believe that Lorayne could have expressed his idea more clearly some of his ideas left you needing more information. Many of his key methods were explained to vaguely and were not completely explained.

This book is great for a student that needs help memorizing for school. This book depends on the class if it is truly needed. It isn’t a book that one can pick up and read it needs something to connect to.

The name of the Author of the book Super Memory Super Student is Harry Lorayne. The book was written to help anyone, young or old, improve their memory. Harry Lorayne is a magician and a remembering genius. I was required to read this book for my High School Chemistry class. Harry wrote the book to help students get a better grade on their tests and remember more things altogether. The book was very interesting and supplied me with great remembering techniques.

The book, to my surprise, actually helped me remember and retain a lot of the information I memorized. The front of the book even states, "Dramatically increase your SAT scores by remembering 5o new Vocabulary words." The book supplies you with several different memory techniques. However, the techniques are not your normal memory techniques. The techniques help with all different types of learners.

You can use the techniques in the book to help you remember almost anything. The book even states; "Apply his memory techniques to any academic subject." There are chapters covering almost anything you can think of, from music to art, and math formulas. This book really helps you retain the information you here or see only a few times.

The book gave me helpful memory techniques that I still use to this very day. If you buy this book your memory will greatly improve. For $15 you can read a book that will put your mind to use.

Super Memory Super Student

In the book Super Memory Super Student, Harry Lorayne Shows the "three r's" In a very easy way. To start off, Harry Lorayne was a magician and specialized in memory training. She was a movie star the 1930s because of her magic skills. For class, assigned by our chemistry teacher. Harry Lorayne wrote this book so students can have an easier time with school so their grades can improve. Harry Lorayne uses different skills so that the reader understand what they are doing while completing school work. As I mentioned in my first sentence, the three R's represent rithmatic, righting, and reading.
Substituting words with different words and numbers help you remember them easier. There's a rule according to this method. The rule is that the silent letters do not have numbers. An example of this method can be substituting "q" with 9 and "b" with 6. This method is primarily called the Peg system. Using an over proportion thinking method will guarantee you to remember it. This method is the method which helps me the most. For example, if you had to remember a list of animals, you would try to to imagine the animals doing a crazy thing. Another example can be if you needed to remember a certain tiger, you would imagine the tiger bungee jumping. Creating a story with a group of words you have to remember will be useful. There is many ways this can work but I found remember the different types of rocks the easiest. For example, " Someone is calling heights (calcite) and the floor yells right each time." This is a great example of how just using it in a small story can implant it in your brain. Use acronyms to be precise in remembering. For example, the five lakes are somewhat difficult to remember. You can remember them by using the acronym "HOMES" and using the first letter of each name for a different type of lake. Many of this developing original awareness at the same time. Many people often say you have to be smart but you just need to find out what works best for you.
Harry Lorayne uses different skills so that the reader understand what they are doing while completing school work. Using these methods, you will be a master for learning. This will guarantee you success. Implementing them in my everyday life to have success in school. These methods will help me get into a better college. Last of all, she uses these methods to show and relieve students of difficult written and spoken tasks.

Super Memory Super Student Book Review

tThe book Super Memory Super Student: How to raise your grades in 30 days is a book written by author Harry Lorayne. As you could probably guess, the main theme of this book is based upon memory training. Harry Lorayne is a memory training specialist and expert, and was even called “The Yoda of Memory Training”. The reason that I have written this review is because of our assignment to read and complete Super Memory for chemistry class, following with a book review to rap it up. Harry Lorayne wrote this book specifically to help students improve their memory. Though Super Memory put forth some interesting ideas on improving memory as a whole, I personally never really found myself implicating these concepts into the way I study/remember things in my own life.
tVarious strategies and ideas are introduced to the reader with the means to help improve his or her memory as a whole throughout the book. However, I found that the first few chapters were slow in doing this. This is because instead of instantly introducing you to fun new ideas on how to improve your memory at the very beginning, the book tends to explain what its purpose is and why memory is so important in everyday life. I found that at the beginning of the book, the author tended to state the obvious quite a bit. For example, the fact that studying is important, and the fact that remembering is important. I also found a good chunk of the book to be quite repetitive, and honestly a bit boring. However, I also believe that the ideas the book introduced are interesting at times, and it was fun because a lot of the book tied its ideas into chemistry which is the class that assigned us to read super memory in the first place. It also ties its memory training ideas into other subjects such as art and music.
tThough super memory at times was quite interesting, I personally did not find it very useful. Some of the highlights I found while reading the book were the link system, funny and relatable images, and the fact that it tied into various subjects that lots of people can relate to. I am not saying that this is a bad book, in fact I would recommend a majority of people to read it. I just found that personally it was not very useful.

Super Memory- Super Student is a good book for any student that has had trouble studying and memorizing for tests or quizzes. It was written by Harry Lorayne who is the “self proclaimed premier authority on memory training”. We read this book to try and better in our memory and help us do better on tests and quizzes.
One of the better methods that the author has in this book is “mnemonics”. It’s a method that uses rhymes and sound alikes to help memorize words. This method would really help you memorize words for vocab because of the symbols it uses. This method would be good for studying for vocabulary because all you have to do is take one part of the word and create something familiar from it to make a memory device. This method is easy and works really well.
Another method that he introduces is a way to remember different numbers and dates. He would assign a certain letter to a number and whenever you would see that letter it would make you think of the certain number paired with it. As it is a difficult memory device to remember, it could really help you.
This book is good for students that need help memorizing for school. This book also relies largely upon the student and if the method works for them because everyone learns differently and some of these methods might work well for one student but badly for another. So overall, These methods in these books could really help some people and could also be hard for other people so it is mostly based on the person’s opinion.

Super Memory- Super Student: How to raise your grades in 30 days written by Harry Lorayne is a book about using "easy" skills to help with memory in order to raise your grades. When looking at the information of this book I found out Harry Lorayne was a memory training specialist which raised my expectations a lot. Harry Lorayne wrote this book because he wants to help students improve their memories with ease to raise grades. this book gave me mostly very helpful information and me being the target readers fro Harry Lorayne it helped me with my memorization a lot.

The first thing this book helped me a lot with is the Nemonic devices that it suggested in order to memorize certain words of phrases. The idea is to create a short sentence that acts as an acronym to remember a certain set of words of phrases. This is a very smart thing to suggest. The first reason is because it is very creative and based on your self. It helps you remember because you make it up in your mind. This is also very good because I used it personally on many tests. I used the sentence "Ty Goes Manatee Kill During Class Morning, Morning Country, Noon" to memorize the Metric Prefixes for my chemistry class. Even though It does not make too much sense it helped me to memorize very effectively.

Another good argument that I will make about this book is that it is great for students and especially high school students. It has a full section on learning how to memorize vocabulary and definitions. This is obviously effective for the SAT as it requires a large knowledge of vocabulary. It also helps college students in giving a lesson on proper note taking. This is very important at university because you must take proper notes that help you memorize the information properly and this also works in high school. Overall the book is very effective in high school because it gives many lessons on how to study properly. I completely agree with this argument because I have used a lot of the lessons and it has heavily improved because of the way I have studied and taken notes leading up to the studying of tests.

This book for the most part helped me in improve my study habits and learning process. It helped by creating mostly easy lessons to help you as well as being very based around you and how your brain works. I definitely suggest this book for any high school or university student wanting to know how to improve their memory as well as study and learning habits.

Super memory book report


The author is Harry Lorayne. The book is called Super Memory Super Student. The main theme is to learn new study habits/ strategies. He is a magician and an expert memory trainer.
This book explains to the reader that there are more multiple ways to study, just in case one way strategy doesn’t work. The author wrote this book to help raise the readers grades in 30 days. Learning to memorize could be hard, but not if you use one of harry Lorayne’s methods.

The first technique the author talked about was the Link technique. The link technique is when you have to learn vocabulary by connecting every word to each other by using pictures in your mind. I didn’t find this technique very useful because it was hard for me to connect words by using pictures in my head. I learn words best by using flashcards or anki.

The best technique that stood out to me was the Peg system for the American history chapter. History is all about memorizing the date of events and people’s names. All you do is break down the word and see if any letters stand out to you. Once you have done that you connect the letters to words that are in your life. This is beneficial to me because in History this will help me memorize people and dates of events.


Using Harry Lorayne’s memorizing methods, studying will become easier.
That anyone can use these strategies.
