It’s official! Moving your body is one of the best memory improvement strategies.

Human beings naturally tend to remember information at the beginning and the end of chunks. It’s the bit in the middle that can sometimes be a bit murky. So try tackling the tricky bits at the beginning or the end of your revision session. You could also write them at [...]
