For anyone who is interested in psychology, here is a great retrieval strategy to use when taking an exam.

When you are studying for an exam with certain conditions being present, you want to re-create as much of those same learning conditions when you are actually taking the exam. This is known as the “encoding specificity principle.”

So with that being said, if you study for a test while drinking a coke and biting on a toothpick, then you would improve your chances of recovering the information you studied while taking the test if you are drinking a coke with a toothpick. The ease of retrieval depends on the match between the way information is encoded and the way it is later retrieved.

This phenomenal method will astonish anyone looking to enhance their mind during test time.

I do that already. It is an awesome method. That’s how I got my degree in the Administration of Criminal Justice.

However, sometimes teachers don’t want you to have anything on your desk and that includes sodas or toothpicks. So what I do is pretend to bite my nails.

Sounds like a great idea. I wish I had known about it when I was just starting college. I’m in graduate school now and writing my thesis, so luckily I have no more exams to take!
