Which, according to all the research I've seen, is exactly what you don't want to do if you want to retain any information. (I couldn't find the study I remembered reading recently, but this article references some such studies http://skeptoid.com/episodes/4229 http://skeptoid.com/episodes/4229)

During High School, I broke the curve on A.P. US History on an open notes final without having a single note to bring to class. Auditory learning styles may require the subvocalization to succeed.
