ive got a .wmv recording from one of their seminars and it pretty much tells you how to "not" forget stuff.
its titled "how to unlock your super memory"

The net is busting at the seams with junk about improving memory, you don't need to go!

I agree. I went to one of the seminars, and afterwards they tried to make us sign up to a couple thousand dollar program which was a complete rippoff. It was a complete waste of time, and for a few days after that, i kept getting annoying phone calls and letters from them asking me to sign up.

Eeeekk... It's like TSFX when they get you to sign up to their intensive workshops. :S

I guess they're good for that sort of stuff, but when they send you things where you need to pay money, expect something dodgy from them indeed. :P

I went to one of the free seminars which is essentially a "sneak-peak" at the 2000 dollar program or something. They tell you not to get tutored because they can give you one-on-one tutoring with some guy that got a 99.25 or something...and then they tell you how to remember stuff, not understand, just remember...

I get all their advertising I'd Ive never even been to any of their programs.
I just joined their online notes thingy when it was free for some reason.
As for Mental Blank, I joined their mail list at the Age VCE Expo. Worst decision ever.

I'm guessing they keep sending you stuff? :S (I already have too much paper all over the house already. XD)

and its actually really scary the way they just keep on contacting you.

Method of Loci is a good 1 if u have the time 2 dedicate 2 sit down and purely memorise something.

Lol Jess, you just reminded me how much I miss psychology! Why didn't I do Italian last year and psychology this year? :P

Lol!! I've never done psychology XD

its for free

That's the trouble... its free, so it makes people want to sign up and give Mental Blank their contact details. After that, they just keep on hassling you.

Money hungry Universities... Don't we all hate them? :)
-
mental blank has free seminars but what are the lectures/tuition that are after the free lecture?
-
That sounds very similar to the "mastering the exams" lectures at tsfx :)

Haha, that was the worst waste of time ever! (And I went there twice. :S)... I could have studies maths with my tutor during those 3 hours. :(

Nothing, but they tell you stuff you already know and sometimes the lady's jokes got rotten. :S

It's true that some of it was common sense, but some of it was pretty good. But, as expected, the lecturer kept on promoting the TSFX lectures like crazy.

And it doesn't help that they give you a million brochures for their intensive workshops... :S
