The emphasis is not Rote Memorization or Memory cards!
Rote memorization has its uses and has been
the most popular method used, probably due to the simplicity
of the technique. There are many good programs based upon rote
memorization - including free programs such as from www.memoryverses.org.
What we teach is memorization and learning, which utilizes a
number of methods. Rote memorization can be used, but our main
emphasis is towards accurate, long term storage and retrieval
of information which is impossible for rote memorization to provide.
Rote memorization is good for short lists and for short term
memorization, but information needs continuous revision or other
action taken; beyond this and you start to get information overlapping
other information and many other learning recall problems. The
programs often used for rote memorization, as mentioned, are
great for revision of any stored information, no matter what
technique was used to store the information in the first place.
One of the key methods we use involves tying triggers
to the information (key elements that will fire off the information
such as a Bible verse). This in turn is tied to its own
permanent memory location (which we all have in our minds) and,
when cataloged through our system, provides the equivalent to
a filing cabinet within your mind - there is nothing like it!
This means being able to store huge amounts of information and
keep track of it - in most cases, rapid memorization (significantly
beyond what Rote can provide by itself), and a permanent ability
to recall the information or verse. Consequently, we offer the
most powerful system of its type you will find anywhere in the
world. Unlike the simplicity of rote memorization, there is a
learning curve to fully utilize these systems, but the advantages
gained totally outweigh this disadvantage. Some of the major
tools we emphasize are own unique version of mnemonics: thus
the purpose of this site is to introduce you to mnemonics - to
give you a taste.
Mnemonics
In this section, you will find several exercises
and tests. The first test is simply used as a comparison for
you to determine your present memorization ability. I then guide
you to the next page to receive instructions for an improvement
technique, followed by the second test to verify the improvement
and so forth throughout the exercises.

Product Information:
The techniques presented here are amazingly effective,
and may be quite sufficient or your needs. However, there is
a huge variety of techniques for learning and study, and no one
technique can do it all - which is where so many failures have
occurred. To cover everything in a manner that they truly deserve,
I have written three interactive books, coupled to interactive
exercises/tests, as well as some excellent downloadable Bible
programs and other programs. There is also a presentation clearly
demonstrating the uses -
