Summary: Great tool for memorizing simple facts and numbers!!!
Review: After watching Kevin's infomercial on TV, I wasn't sure if it was a gimmick or not but I bought the tapes anyways. I am VERY pleased w/ the investment! The information and instructions on these tapes were well organized, simple to follow and entertaining. I found out after the fact that the methods Kevin used were "old" but he must be given some credit for his ability to market a product. The tapes helped me A LOT w/ memorizing names, phone numbers and To Do lists. However, if your looking for help on how to integrate technical information and solve complex physics equations, this is not for you.

Summary: It worked for me!
Review: Back in approximately 1990, I bought the Mega Memory tapes with a friend of mine. She didn't apply the techniques and didn't get any benefit from them. I did use the techniques disclosed & didn't even go through the whole program. I had a management class test at Eastern Michigan University that covered over 12 chapters (the most I had experienced in college). I didn't study until the night before the test, frantically using the "memory system" to "peg" as much information that I could. I got the highest test score in the class. Surprisingly, a year after that class, I saw another person from that class and they remembered talking to the management instructor. The instructor was surprised that I got the highest score on that that test because 1) I sat in the back of the class & 2)My major wasn't in management (most of everyone in the class, who were expected to do better than me, were in a "related" major to the management field). I'm not telling people to wait until the last moment to study for tests and then use these techniques. It just happened that I put myself in a position to have to "Cram" for it. THIS PROGRAM WORKS & is fun learning it because it engages your mind & associates more "interesting" things with the "not so interesting" topic to be studied. Cory D

Summary: Kevin Trudeau Sued by FTC
Review: Before buying this product, you might want to do an internet search on Kevin Trudeau. You'll find that this product's ads, in conjunction with other ads by Trudeau, got Kevin sued by the Federal Trade Commission. Trudeau settled out of court, losing over 1 million dollars. He was also banned from future ads and is required to create and Escrow account to pay others if he violates this injunction.
Buy at your own risk.

Summary: does it really cut study time?
Review: Does the audio tapes really cut study time in half? or if not to zero? would it help with science subjects such as biology, physics, chemistry and maths? would it train the brain to make you think faster and be able to solve complex questions? I would like to know if it is really possible to just read the periodic table once, and remember every element after the training of the 8 tape course.

Summary: Changed My (Academic) Life
Review: I bought the audio cassette Mega Memory Program back in 1993 while at was at Harvard Law School. The methods for memorization contained in this program allowed me to graduate HLS with honors. I used the method to pass the Illinois Bar Exam and more recently to pass the California Bar exam (which this year had the lowest pass rate in 14 years - 49%). I've never recommended any product before, but this one has been effective for me for a decade.

Summary: Excellent
Review: I have all of these in this series. I also read other's bad reviews of the information. Keep in mind that you get exactly what you put in. I wonder what these people would rate a typing course? If you don't spend time rehersing "home-row" you'll never break the 60 wpm barrier. Excellent purchase if your willing to put in the EFFORT to get the REWARD.

Summary: The Book is Better!
Review: I have both the cassettes and the book. The book is far better.
The voice on the tapes is just too annoying!! 99% of the stuff in the book is a rehashing of Harry Lorayne's books, but it works!

Summary: Don't waste your money!
Review: I have just finished the full 8 tape series of Kevin Trudeau's Mega Memory, which I purchased after watching Kevin Trudeau impressively recall a list of items within minutes on television! I've always had a poor memory and wanted to improve it. I had no idea what to expect; and was very impressed. It's taken me about 3 weeks to complete the tape (about an hour a day during week-days only) and I'm impressed with what I can now remember. I can now easily remember anything I wanted to on 'pegs', to do lists without paper, names, faces, text (as much as I wanted to remember), spellings, numbers, foreign languages, car licence plates, (when I'm waiting in traffic, I find myself automatically practising memorising licence plates and car makes (grins)) - the harder things to do are the languages and say chunks of text. . This is just the beginning of what I can now remember in 3 weeks. It helps to have a really vivid imagination! I have review work to do over the next 21 days and really looking forward for when the memory techniques become automatic and faster and faster and second nature! I'm already impressing friends with what I can remember on lists; with practice I know my memory speeds will become faster and faster and hopefully get to the stage that Kevin was at on television! (yeah!) It was easy to begin with and then the hard work began with the serious stuff (eg remembering chunks of text, foreign languages etc). Kevin is very motivational and he directs well and I stuck at the course, even when it got tough and painful on the brain (that's when I almost gave up - some three quarters into the series! yikes!) (I haven't used my 'brain' properly for a long while!!!! as I'm not a college student and haven't been 'studying' so to speak for about 15 years! During that 'stuck' phase where it felt painful, once I got through that 'mental' block (which took a few mins and some self talk), it became easier again - it's remembering that we can do it; and it is easy and possible. Kevin is with you throughout the way and he guides well in the 8 tape series; and the exercises are motivational and seeing your progress map out before your eyes is very inspiring! I'm amazed at how fast it all took. 3 weeks ago I never could have imagined that I can now remember makes of cars and licence plate numbers so easily in minutes and still remember them days later! (It's just a sample of what can be remembered and how the techniques can be used).
I will be purchasing Kevin's Advanced Mega Memory (8 tape series) fairly soon as that is the University version of the Mega Memory; whereas Mega Memory is the College version ! I'm looking forward to it. p/s I'd personally say purchase the 8 tape series instead of the 1 tape series ! Go for it!
