What is Memory Masters?
A memory master is a student who successfully completes the process outlined below.
1. March 16th-March 30th (weeks 21-22), Mom will proof the student on all material (weeks 1-24, all 7 subject areas) in one sitting and the student may miss only 3 questions in each subject area.
2. March 23rd-April 6th (weeks 22-23), a friend or family member familiar with the memory master guide will proof the student on all material weeks (weeks 1-24, all 7 subject areas) in one sitting and the student may miss only 1 question in each subject area.
3. March 30th-April 12th (weeks 23-24), the student's tutor will proof the student on all material weeks (weeks 1-24, all 7 subject areas) in one sitting and the student may miss no questions in any subject area.
4. Sometime after April 6th, the foundations/essentials director will proof the student on approximately a quarter of the material from the entire cycle equally from each subject area (approximately 6 randomized questions from each subject) in one sitting and the student may miss no questions in any subject area.

Mastery vs. Perfection
Mastery is not about perfection. While students will be required to master the material by demonstrating their knowledge without "errors", this article demonstrates the fine line between mastery and perfection. Grace is a part of this process as well. See the article below entitled "Mastery vs. Perfection" for more information and guidance.
The Spirit of a Memory Master
This article uses the analogy of a marathon to describe the Memory Master Process. Perseverance and humility are big parts of the process. Additionally, this article addresses how to approach when a student doesn't finish the race (memory masters). Check out the article below "The Spirit of a Memory Master."
