can a mind map be useful if it is drawn by someone else?

Question

When I look at mind maps, they usually seem hard to understand, they are not very clear. Is it possible to understand a ready made mind map easily?

Answer 1

first of all you have to understand the topic yourself. mind maps are only for revision. when you look at mindmaps try and link back to the chapter and remember stuff adding links if you need to. it is always better to make your own mind map cause it shows you understand the topic better. if you want to know more about mind mapping, try and get hold of Tony Buzan, The Mind Map Book: Radiant Thinking. it may help or try this site. http://www.imindmap.com/.
