If you are not optimistic and thinking positively about this experience

If you are not optimistic and thinking positively about this experience then you are not going to be able to get very good results, so this is important. Also remember to always include as many of your senses as possible and so if you are normally a visual person, rather than just reading things to remember you should read them out loud, so that you are hearing it at the same time and will be that much more liable to remember.
