How can I increase my general knowledge in a short duration of time?

I have one week for this. Do you know the right approach for memorizing vast amount of data in very short time?

    No, sorry, too late, a lifetime with the right attitude is required for this.

    You might be able to swot up on one specific subject, at most, but it is unlikely you'll be able to remember lots of stuff about a subject in which you have no real interest.

    I'm trying to imagine myself in the situation you describe. I think I have a fairly good general knowledge, but have zero interest in sports of any kind. I ask myself, if I studied for a week, could I remember a lot of sports related info? Being honest with my self, the answer is NO!

    It's called Education,longer than a week required though.

    At least take a month.

    Us mere mortals take 12 to 20years.

    Read the subject at least twice, then test yourself on the content. Works every time.
