Huge shoutout and thanks to: @rajkamalmohanram
for this very useful thread: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/notes-from-discover-canada-preparation-for-the-citizenship-test.734507/
Approach: I am going to exclusively use the information that @rajkamalmohanram provided to build out a complete memory palace.
There will be 6 major areas within one single huge memory palace for the Canadian Citizenship Test
These are the 6 areas.
1. History of Canada
2. Notable Canadian figures
3. Notable Canadian dates
4. Government of Canada
5. Symbols of Canada
6. Province Related Information
Why Mnemonics + Memory Palace Technique Works:
Mnemonics make use of elaborate encoding, retrieval cues, and imagery as specific tools to encode information in a way that allows for efficient storage and retrieval.
Human beings were not built to read from text books and memorize dates/info etc. The first time humans started to write was around 5,500 years ago.
We first existed around 5M to 7M years back. We were evolved to learn and remember from visualization/imagery. The more weird or outlandish the image is the better we will be able to remember them.
The goal here is to help a person prepare for the Canadian Citizenship Test with as little time as possible and also to help them learn and remember the information permanently. i.e instead of placing the information in your short term memory we will push the information directly in the long term memory.
Instead of learning/reading from text you will learn from the images. I will post around 100+ images below and will also thread them in the memory palace.
You should be able to review the images pretty quickly and the goal here is to be able to prep for the test and get 20/20 even if you have less than a day/few hours before the test.
This will be super fun and engaging. If you can dedicate enough time and your normal working memory is really good and you have good self discipline then doing it the normal way should be fine. i.e basically reading through the Discover Canada Guide multiple times and keep revising it + taking online tests etc.
I will keep posting whenever I get some free time but I will definitely finish it within the next 7 days.
If there is no genuine interest in this and nobody is really helped by this then I will ask the moderator to delete this thread.
