I wish I found these videos years ago when I first started college. So helpful

[@cherriroberdes3914]

Very impressive Mr Brueckner.. I remembered without looking! Your tricks are fabulous and I can't wait to start practicing them! Thank you so much!

[@ninja2012xd]

I wish this guy was a teacher of mine

[@shumwetedd1799]

Great Video clip! Excuse me for chiming in, I would love your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Conabel Muscle Marmsome (google it)? It is a good exclusive guide for learning how to memorise anything minus the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my m8 got excellent success with it.

[@annachilton1972]

what a great teacher, nice to see someone so passionate about sharing

Found this very helpful for up coming post office exam,this professor enjoys his job. people who live in long beach need to take advantage of his class.

[@pandrews5042]

Hi Scot, I am taking an exam in a few months at the age of 55 and I haven't studied for forty years, your memory tricks have given me the confidence that I will be able to remember what is needed to pass, Your students are very fortunate to be given these tips at a young age and will be able to use them all through their lives, keep up the good work and thanks again. Phil . from Hereford England.

Hey there P Andrew, what exam , and how did they go ?

[@bartvertrees4626]

Wow!!! Thank you. I'm watching this from Wales. (UK) I'm from Long Beach. I went to Wilson High. Even took some classes at LBCC before going to OCC. Ha Ha, I'm 78 yrs. old and need help with my memory...Great help, thanks.

[@jeremybuchheits1107]

He failed.

[@survaive]

Thank you so much Mr Brueckner, Scott Brueckner I presume. I've been out of school for many years but. I'm actually a drop out for hating in my teenage years the school system but you are one of those teachers that make learning at school or on the web an all different level! You give this courses to a specific audience, your students but the real people that you touch are the ones behind their computers which are REALLY searching to improve their memory here..

[@deborahpostma1529]

Thank you so much, I have been sitting at the computer for hours trying to learn how to memorize in A, B, C, D order for the Postal Exam 473. You only have 5 min to memorize street names in the right A,B,C,D order, this is perfect for me. You are a life saver!

[@rishabhkashyap619]

I can bet if this man do a ted talk that video will be going to achieve million of views in very less time.

this was the best class I ever had.. thank you and GOD BLESS

[@salongirl77]

For someone who has one of the poorest of memories, I got 10/10 in the test... these tips are amazing.. I will use these tricks as I tackle learning a foreign language. Thanks soooo much

[@Gary-ts6dh]

18:36 - I've been following Kerauno, LLC, which is an Indiana startup company dealing with CLOUD based communications software. Now the name of the company makes sense! Thank you for using that word as an example.

[@maryannchaisson6742]

Thank you so much! This is an amazing memory help. I’m 80 and only got 3 wrong. Amazing! 🇨🇦👏👏💐

[@2dmcconnon]

I used to hate math, but when you start showing the tricks, I became a star of the group.

[@gregoriorivera8946]

I have a very good memory but these tricks made my memory better.

[@The-Laughing-Counter]

I joined you not quite long but I really enjoyed every lechor of yours, You are appreciated and please keep the good work done for some of us benefit absolutely from your inteligency.

[@davidakeredolu09]

Wished i had known this before my B.Sc.. I had friends i adored for their memory skills, but never knew how they do it. I will try and get some more practice. And oh, I used your method of remembering names, and It worked! Thank you so much.

[@davestrong9219]

These skills remind me of the KIMS games I learned when I used to wear green all the time... Great teacher!

[@Valsula69]

I will be starting college this Monday. I'm so thankful I found your videos for all types of memorization skills, etc. I hope you have time to make a video on just math tricks. I'd love to see that as well. Thank you very much for this!

Your teaching was awesome! I discovered another trick. What is 52 divided by .50 ? Answer 104. 52 times 2 . Use 2 for .50.

[@gratefulindividual7096]

Your lectures are life changing Sir. Thanks for the help.

[@magica2z]

What a great teacher he is.. Thank you Sir,.

[@scottfrench3411]

Very cool tricks, thank you so much. I am getting ready to take the EC-12 Special Education texes test. These tricks are going to work great, keep em coming.

[@martens0909]

I am surprised, that's no so many students are there. If he had been my teacher, I will definitely be there.

[@fadrian98]

yea b/c most of them have transportation issues, have work, or sleep in

Hi! Beautifull, can you suggest any practice work books to learn the techniques you have practiced.

[@shahabgulf1151]

Can you explain me

You are so lucky having such a teacher ! ! !

[@viviebojilov6]

you sir are a saint and a scholar !

[@kimcharlenetyne1982]

Hi Scott (huh remember that from video 2), just watched your first 3 videos as I think I did so horribly in my exam recently. Studied for over a month, and couldnt remember anything I learnt in the exam!! Subject Human Resources, so looked up ways on improving memory and came across your videos. Makes so much sense, will apply to my next modules for the year. Thought I was just getting to old for studying and my memory was failing me :)

[@venugiriaPleasanthome]

Hi! Kim, can you suggest any practice work books to learn the techniques you have practiced.

[@masterisela]

he is a great teacher, excelent tricks for memory

[@tvtimemomx2]

Omg I love you why couldn't they think outside the box like this when I was in grade school I hope you have or will put your math tricks online its such a pain for so many. Thank you for taking the time to put this out I can't even begin to tell you how it's changed my view on going back to school.

[@SpringHWhipple]

It worked! I've been thinking "I don't have a very good memory" and have been trying to turn that around by asking a better question, how can I omprove my memory and WHALLA! Love the "more memory tricks"! Got 100% on the quiz :)

[@SpringHWhipple]

PS.. I'm still thinking my friend Caron is afraid of lightening, lol!

[@dag06001]

These are awesome, I just started reading "Walking with Einstein" and this is a great way to reinforce some of those techniques.

[@Mariasfashion4u]

Thanks for sharing all your tricks. It will be nice to have a class to improve our memory. I am pretty sure more students will get better grades. You are the best

[@carlapatriciacastillocalvi7125]

Awesome lecture. I am a big fan of your teachings.

[@russianguy86]

Nice, this should be tough as a standard in schools! I always had problems remembering, lol, I wish I learned It in grade school! Nice work Scott!

[@hopehuffer920]

Your class should be required (non negotiable) starting in JR High, then in High School and an elective in college. Since I was young, I had this hunger for learning. For different reasons, I feel, I did not received the academics that I felt ready to get. (Coming from a small town in another country.) Thank God for social media. I have learned so much of what interest me. (Latin, French, geography, History etc.) I graduated from CSUStanislaus. I worked soooo hard and made the Dean’s List. I’m retired after teaching 20 + years. I would love to go back to school and work for a Master’s degree. ( JUST BECAUSE.) learning these strategies to study makes my interest stronger. THANK YOU 🙏

[@marneysmithies8558]

great video, I shared with some friends and kids who are students, I hope they listen to you, well done!

I watched the whole video and follow all the tricks and ddnt take notes...and at the end of the workshop, i got the answers all correct...thanks to this..im gonna try this one..😊

[@onong3919]

thanks so much. it really works. i never thought about such weird but efficient ways to memorize. it absolutely impress me. terrific!!

[@mjncheers]

Thank you for these amazing tricks! They work like magic! Please also do the math tricks, and consider starting a youtube channel or something~

[@lilyj9298]

Dear Scott , thanks a lot for study skills!

[@ImehSmith]

Yeaaaa! I got them all right! These are some awesome memory tricks!! Thanks a million for posting!!

[@ImehSmith]

😲 OMG 😲 It has been over two years and I still remember the streets‼️‼️👍🏽👍🏽😲😲🤗🤗😃😃 OK, I lied. I got the info & spot on here mixed up. It actually starts around 6:30 I was trying to find a spot. But nonetheless the memory came back really fast and this is irrelevant trivial useless information from two years ago so go figure that one out

[@ImehSmith]

Anyway, his actual memory test starts at 41:40 It's funny how I remember such abstract stuff. I was thinking dick Clark instead of Johnny Carson that saved me on the ocean and of course beach balls instead of oranges but they were still around. I was thinking werewolves us to the coyotes but then again you keys remember a werewolf for coyote I remembered Santa Claus I remember at the park in a sliding board and again I remember getting saved by Dick Clark versus Johnny car

[@kamauwilliamk]

This is so wonderful, I believe it will work out for me thank you

[@jlaurence3519]

Interesting. I was watching hoping for some help to visualize as I can't do it (like approximately a third of people, so I have gathered), but the early line "all of us can close our eyes and see things...", made me understand he was only thinking of the way which helps him.

[@gpfla3]

gentle, humorous and so helpful lectures of him :D I'm really addicted to them !

[@venugiriaPleasanthome]

Hi! Scott, Great! teaching, can you suggest me some practice / work books where I can practice to get better at. I will try to practice in real life movements but need some extra work to give some time for imagination to develop. Thank you!

[@NievesMarques]

Thanks for this video. Is very, very helpful.

[@mmawalidh]

Thanks man..! This guy is awesome..!! really thankful...wish i saw him before my exams..! anyways..

[@adailsonbento6303]

I have some problems to remember myself the things, it was fantastic to learn these tricks

[@Scottit]

Thank you for posting this. Although, I didn't watch very far into the video because I knew many, & are mostly unneeded by me (I have 3 degrees). For example, on the 1st math point. I didn't know of the said "thing," but I figured it out before it was mentioned. Diving by 1/4 is the same as multiplying by 4. That could be more beneficial, for most, to expand, rather than just giving a supposed "trick." If dividing by a number

[@berthely]

This man is wonderful

[@richardfredlund3802]

This is really wonderful advice, I wish there were more videos like this on youtube. one of the great things about maths is that many things are actually interconnected, in such a way that you can if you understand it correctly, reconstruct the information you need. I only ever memorised by rote the formula for quadratic equation, and a few other things. e.g. differential of u*v = u'*v + u*v' . Then if I need the equation for integration by parts, I don't have to remember it, I can integrate both sides to get it. With relatively few exceptions if you know and understand the definition, and you also understand the proofs, that's all you need to actually remember. In fact some of the very good mathematicians remember very little other than this. I had a lecturer at university who had not memorised the quadratic equation, he simply solved each time by completing the square. The less you need to remember the more you understand. This is very particular to mathematics and is not the case with other subjects. mathematics is a very difficult subject for students who don't understand it, because they have to memorise a lot, (and maths facts are not fun to memorise, they're dry and uninteresting, even facts in a subject like history or geography are more interesting). some of these students manage to remember all these things and plow through by sheer hard work. The irony is there is no way I could remember all that stuff, .. and I'm even impressed that they can do it, .. but when it comes to a new problem they haven't seen before, despite knowing much less, I can probably solve it where they can't. That's the big secret to maths, there's the easy way and the hard way. And it's the easy way which is better. If you want to actually be good at maths it's the easy way you should aim for. (counter intuitive as that is, we tend to think of taking the easy way as slacking off or not doing our best.). The easy way is this. Think like a mathematician. How does a mathematician think? Even if you don't know much maths it's quite easy. All you do is take a very sceptical and precise approach. Every statement is either a definition or proved. If it isn't one of those two it isn't maths. To be a mathematician just be very sceptical. Always (about every single line of maths you see) think is this true or not. Is it true by definition? - then it's true. If not what is the proof. This is mathematical rigor. It might seem pedantic (and it is) but if you think like this what you are doing is expanding the set of statements that you KNOW are true. If someone tells you Henry the 8th lived in such and such year, you're ultimately taking someones word for it somewhere down the line. It might be established, and lots of people might believe it, but you can't actually confirm it for yourself. In maths you can and should confirm everything for yourself (by always asking how does this follow from the definitions ). Even if you know very little maths, if you start taking this approach of using the mathematical mindset (which is really just a strictly pedantic and rigorous mindset) then you will soon get much better at it that you ever thought possible. The links between things will become much clearer and you will have to remember much less, but perform much better. What's more it will turn from being a dull subject full of diabolically dry 'facts' to memorise, to be being interesting. That's why some people actually do maths for fun, because it is interesting.

[@richardfredlund3802]

what you actually need to remember --- a) the definitions b) the tricks used in the proofs.

[@riphihe]

I think I'm the only person who liked this.

[@abikashamalan3935]

You are a great teacher. Do u know any other maths? If u do pls make a video just with them.

[@mayTK]

The greatest educator ever !

[@Diplodocuses]

Really great techniques! Which i knew these before! I'm studying economics and i feel like these techniques will rarely fit with the kind of material i'm studying (but i didn't tried them yet :p! ), any economic students here who used them?

Wow. Really appreciate this tricks! Even the quiz i wrote it down haha. Keep it up! Kudos to sir Scott. :)

[@nella1033]

A little over 9 years too late but I just came up with a kind of acronym for the example of the 6 states in the rocky region 32:28: W. CUMIN or W(hy) CUMIN W - Wyoming C - Colorado U - Utah M - Montana I - Idaho N - Nevada Though it is not as creative as the acrostics style presented by Scott, I find that 'W. Cumin' could be another strategy to remember the 6 states in the rocky regions. The simple phrase": 'Why Ground Cumin? 'Why' - sounds a lot like Wyoming 'Ground' - you could think of the rocky region 'Cumin' - the 5 Cumin acronym states being Colorado, Utah, Montana, Idaho, and Nevada

Damn, US is not my home, english is not my language (even though bilingual), but these stories I remember them still after a whole day ! Great tricks ! I am studying by myself some modules in my programing language, and I am curious to see how I will be able to apply/tweak your tricks with that, after all this is not words or short stuff I try to learn... and keeping going back to documentation is not really funny stuff. Anyway, many thanks to this man for teaching tricks and the principles behind theses (vivid, dumb/bizarre and relatively short)

Hi! Tiffany, I will definitely look into the book you have mentioned and can you suggest any practice work books to learn the techniques you have practiced.

[@RiDankulous]

It's important for children to learn these memory tricks. The children who are training for top colleges do so it stands to reason that all children learn them so they have the tools to learn. It's not hard.
