In this video, I talk through the Essay Memorisation Framework that I used to win the top exam results prize in my 3rd year of Medical School at Cambridge University. I was studying Psychology as my intercalated BA, and using this method I created around 50 essay plans and committed them to memory. This video explains how. Enjoy xx
