Unlock your brain. The Complete Study System

UNLOCK YOUR BRAIN

A visual study system from I’m Possible Vault™

Studying takes effort. Knowing how to study gives that effort direction.

Does your child spend hours studying, only to forget the information or struggle to use it in an exam? Perhaps you are a learner who keeps rereading the same pages, wondering why the work will not stick.

Unlock Your Brain brings memory techniques, study planning and exam-answering skills together in a colourful, practical 76-page English PDF guide.

Created by Ilze du Plessis, a teacher and study-methods coach, it uses meaningful pictures, unusual stories and step-by-step activities to help learners turn information into something they can understand, remember and use.

What’s inside?

• Understand attention and memory: Explore why looking at information is different from learning it.
• Create memorable mental pictures: Use movement, humour, emotion and unusual details to connect pictures with facts.
• Build your memory toolkit: Discover story methods, memory palaces, number-rhyme pegs, number-picture pegs and alphabet pegs.
• Connect new information to existing knowledge: Give unfamiliar ideas a meaningful starting point.
• Find a workable study environment: Explore how sound, movement, visual distractions and comfort can affect studying.
• Try practical reset activities: Short activities to try when feeling restless, overwhelmed, low on energy or stuck getting started.
• Turn knowledge into answers: Recognise command words, consider mark allocations, build paragraphs and check your responses.
• Check what you remember over time: Use delayed recall to identify gaps and revisit what needs more work.
• Prepare throughout the term: Explore summary methods, study planning and a seven-day preparation plan.
• Put the tools into practice: Follow worked examples, activities and study challenges.

Meaningful pictures. Practical explanations. Tools to try.

A strange picture or funny story can become a useful reminder—but learners also need to understand the facts behind it. This guide shows how to connect the two, then practise recalling and applying what they have learned.

Who is it for?

Learners who want more direction in their studying, parents supporting them at home, teachers and homeschool families. Its visual explanations and practical activities may also appeal to neurodivergent learners looking for approaches to try.

Do you need the $5 guide first?

No. Unlock Your Brain can be used on its own. It includes an overview of the 14 thinking tools. The separate $5 guide offers more detailed command-word explanations and answer practice for those who want that additional support.

Your $29 purchase includes:
