Mindjet MindManager Review...Great Minds don’t think alike


Mindjet MindManager Review...Great Minds don’t think alike

by SoftwareGuru

It’s that time of year again, the sun is shining, the birds are chirping and of course it’s exam preparation time! It’s so easy to procrastinate when preparing for exams...let’s face it there is a lot more interesting things to do on facebook or watch on tv - but getting stuck in to your revision will improve your chances of succeeding and enjoying your summer holidays even more, so it's got to be worth it!

Here at Software4Students we try help our customers succeed in their education and prepare them for their future careers by giving you access to software at discounted prices.

Today’s article will focus around the concept of Mind Mapping and how it can be used as an effective revision tool. So, get off facebook and give yourself a head start, by following our guide to successful exam preparation!














Benefits of mind mapping for your exam preparation

1. Use it as a Revision Tool Mind mapping can be used as an effective revision tool for class/lecture notes. Mind mapping provides a global perspective about a topic, it can help you build the foundations of strong associations between interconnecting chunks of information.

2. Use it for Exam Preparation

When it comes to preparing for examinations, there is no better tool than creating mind maps. Outlining key points of a subject on a map will help you remember them for your exam. When something you are studying is consistent with your patterns of thinking and remembering, it becomes easier to learn and recall when you are sitting in that exam hall!

3. Use it for Overviewing Links & Connections

Mind mapping interlocks, links together and associates seemingly unrelated fragments of information in a way that makes them easy to remember and recall at a later time. It gives you a global perspective of the subject matter as you add and expand information creatively and crtically.

Reading or learning information in a linear fashion puts a lot of pressure on our brain and can cause us to lose concentration. We’ve all been there when you read through chunks of information and you forget most of what you’ve just read! Mind maps on the other hand helps you visual information filled with interconnecting content, colours, images, symbols and words that work together to improve concentration and help you remember more.
 
Mind mapping Tools available from Software4Students

Communicating with students, parents and teachers on a daily basis is important to Software4Students so we can provide the most relevant tools to help students succeed in their education. We recently added Mindjet’s MindManager 8 & 9 to our product portfolio to help students organise class notes, research, and lecture materials in a way that is most meaningful to them.

MindManager’s mind maps start with a central theme, and then add branches with ideas, notes, images, tasks, hyperlinks and attachments.

MindManager maps capture and organise information, and you’ll quickly transform your thoughts and ideas into fine-tuned documents, presentations and winning exam revision notes which you can easily import from or export to Microsoft Office!

Mind mapping is a powerful but simple way of using diagrams to show information in the same way you think. It makes it easier for you to understand, remember, and communicate complex information and ace those summer assignments and exams!
