Pause for a moment, try one of the following to give yourself some time to think.\n\n"That's an interesting question"  \n"I've never thought about that, let me think...."\n"Give me a moment to think about that"\n"I don't have much experience with that, what do YOU think?"\n\nThen use basic, simple words.

One of the most sure way of increasing the percentage of brainpower you use (not neccesarry regarding to what we define as intelligence) is to use the age old technique of the East : Meditation. Performing Yoga under supervision, can also be very rewarding in this aspect. However, it has to be done carefully, as too much of either can have devastating results. So, good luck.

Dear Mr. Holmes:\n   I am writing to find out what you thought was your best detective work and why? What happened and when? What were the clues? Did anything or anyone fool you? What steps did you take to solve it? What was the final outcome? Did Dr. Watson help you? If so, how? And finally, from start to finish how much did it cost you to solve this mystery? \nThank you.\n\n                                                 Sincerely,

Take notes. Read into a tape recorder and then listen back to it later. Teach someone or something (your cat) the concepts you read (without looking at the book!). People learn in many different ways. Some are better verbal learners, some are better visual learners, some learn better by doing. By attacking your problem from multiple angles, you will succeed. Make sure you have the time to learn (turn off the TV, phone, and music and don't wait until the last second to study).

be a wide reader.. review your past lesson. concentrate it. try to drill. you need to apply the speed test. buy or borrow books that related in your course, reviewer books, hand outs and practice practice to become faster as you are to answer the question. because they can used it when you taking the board exam. trust yourself. and think positive that you made it. the power of positive thinking can help you to pass the exam. Don't forget to pray also.good luck!

Try timing yourself when you read something easy like the newspaper for example. Don't read all of the words, but skim through it and when you're done see if you can grasp the main idea. If not, go back and try it again.

The current learning models are based on the Bloom's Taxonomy. See the link below.\n\nCritical thinking are in the higher level learning skills like application, analysis, evaluation, creation, etc. Rote memorization would be considered a lower level learning skill. Logic is one tool always used at every level of learning. Logic skills are commonly categorized as induction or deduction. Induction is extrapolating patterns starting with a few initial examples (like finding the following sequence). Deduction is drawing a conclusion given a number of clues or facts (like detective work). There are other forms of logic as well.

You can start by narrowing the possibilities using your gut instinct and deductive reasoning.  What clues, if any, do you have?  Your clues are all you've got.  If he didn't leave any clues, you can rest assured he intends to follow up soon.  Good luck!

Improving Your Memory\n\n1) Really think about you want to remember. If you wish to enter information into long-term memory, it is important to think about it. Ask questions about it, consider its meaning, and examine its relationship to information you already know. In other words, engage in “deep processing”. Doing so will help make the new information part of your existing knowledge frameworks – and increase your chances of remembering it at a later time.\n\n2) Pay careful attention to what you really want to remember. Unless you pay careful attention to information you want to remember, it stands little chance of really getting in” – into long-term memory. So, be sure to direct your full attention to the information you want to remember. True, it involves a bit of hard work, but in the long run, it will save you time and effort.\n\n3) Minimize interference. Interference is a major cause of forgetting, and, in general, the more similar materials are, the more likely they are to produce interference. In practical terms, this means that you should arrange your studying so that you don’t study similar objects one right after the other. Instead, work on subjects that are unrelated: the result may be less interference between them, better grades.\n\n4) Engage in distributed learning/practice. Don’t try to cram all the information you want to memorize into long-term storage at once. Rather, if possible, space your studying over several sessions – preferably several days. This is especially true if you want to retain the information for long periods of time rather than just the next examination.\n\n5) Use visual imagery and other mnemonics. You’ve probably already heard the saying ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’. Where memory is concerned, this is sometimes true; it is often easier to remember information associated with vivid mental images (e.g., Gehrig & Toglia, 1989). You can put this principle to use by adopting any one of several different mnemonics – tactics for improving memory. One of these, the method of loci, involves linking points you want to remember with visual images arranged in some familiar order. For instance, suppose you want to remember the points in a speech you will soon be delivering. You can imagine walking through some familiar place, say, your own home. Then, form a series of images in which each item you wish to remember is placed in a specific location. Perhaps the first point is “The greenhouse effect is real”. You might imagine a large, steamy greenhouse right outside your front door. The next point might be “Cutting down the rain forest is increasing the greenhouse effect”. For this one, you might imagine a large, cut down tree in your living room. You would form other images, in a different location, for the other points you want to make. Then, by taking an imaginary walk through your house, you can “see” each of these images and thus remember the points in your speech.\n\n6) Give yourself retrieval clues. Remember the concept of state-dependent retrieval? As noted previously, you can use this principle to provide yourself with extra retrieval cues and so help enhance your memory. For instance, if you studied for a test while in a physical state, try to be in the same state when you take it – this may help. Similarly, use the principle of mood-dependent memory. If you learned some material while in a given mood and then want to remember it, try to put yourself in this same mood. This is not as hard as it may sound: you can often vary your own mood by imagining happy or sad events. To the degree that your mood now matches your mood when you learned the information, your memory may be enhanced for it.\n\n7) Develop your own shortcut codes. To learn the names of the planets in our solar system, many children use the first letter technique, in which the first letter of each word in a phrase stands for an item to be remembered. So, the sentence “Mary’s Viol

I like these two very much.\nCarefully read the theory of the related chap,\nThen try to solve the problems,\nthink more about the relationship of each theory.\nI cam solve any problems though I was blind for 1 year, then a tried to undersand,\nso i hope you can pass only when you think more about these.

Buying more expensive recipes makes someone a better cook? Not necessarily.\n\nYou hit part of the equation of self-improvement in the part of your statement about basketball. To get better at a skill, practice of proper technique can be invaluable.\n\nI have some problems with the nature of your final question, though. First of all, I seldom see the value of intellectualism as a competitive sport. I think the true value of knowledge and understanding comes from constantly trying to improve one's self, not from trying to be better than "that person" or "this person". Not to mention that your hypothetical "person who knows EVERYTHING" doesn't exist.\n\nAlso, I think you're confusing two separate things to equate "being smarter" with "knowing more". It's a common misconception - that the acquisition and recitation of facts are somehow indicators of intelligence. After all, most of us think the people on "Jeopardy!" to be quite smart, no?\n\nThe two are not so closely linked, though. People can learn massive amounts of information, but lack an ability to critically analyze that information. That case would mark a person as the flesh and blood equivalent of an encyclopedia. Useful for attaining bits of information, sure - but you wouldn't ask the Encylcopedia Britannica to make a decision for you.\n\nOf course, there is some correlation. People inclined towards critical analysis tend to desire a more in-depth understanding of issues and situations, and so *may* be better informed as to the complexities of a topic. Just thought it was necessary to point out that these are two different things.\n\nSo, what's your goal? Is it to know more facts about a topic or series of topics than another person? In that case, pick your topics, find some reliable books of reference, and start reading. Take notes if that's your style, develop some memory mnemonics if they help you remember, et cetera. But I would suggest that this is not a very rewarding endeavor, by itself.\n\nIf your actual question is about critical thinking skill - if you want to enhance your ability to examine situations, make decisions, etc. . my suggestion would be to focus on understanding the nature of logical analysis and critical thinking. These topics aren't touched on nearly enough in American education - I don't know where you are from, but my (limited) knowledge tells me this is true in most educational systems.\n\nLook for books in your local library or bookstore - or just do a little bit of internet research - on critical thinking and logical analysis. There's a wealth of material out there that explicitly details the structure of argument, logical deduction, and so on.\n\nFor interpersonal debate, I find a study of logical fallacies to be invaluable. One of my favorite books on this subject - although by no means authoritative - is called "Attacking Faulty Reasoning", if you're interested. There are, however, plenty of free resources out there on this topic as well.\n\nHope this helps. Learn, try to understand, practice analytical skills - it's not all that different from learning to play basketball.
