Does anyone have any ideas for helping memorizing 100 countries by Wednesday?

This always works for me when I have to memorize countries,\n\nget the first letter of the country and makeup a word that starts with that letter, then take another country bordering/ or near to that one and think of another word that starts with the letter the second country begins with.  You will usually end up with a really funny phrase.  Just remember it, and repeat it a lot of times.  Then as soon as you get the test write down all the first letters.\n\nI hope this helps\n\nGood Luck!

Don't memorize. \nStudy in a distraction-free setting.\nHighlight/underline what is important.\nWrite down what you highlighted.\nDon't study the same thing for more than 20-30 minutes.

When you read, read aloud anything you think is important and repeat it to yourself a couple of times. You have a better chance of remembering. Or another option is to carry around a recorder and record anything important and listen to it later. Works for me for studying for Geo. exam.

How about...the history of small countries in Southeast Asia?  Or the pleasures of bicycling?  The Punic Wars?  Canadians' ideas about the US?  Life in Japan?  Unique wildlife of Australia?  Modern-day piracy in the Straits of Malacca?\nThat's all I can think of in 1 1/2 minutes.

I'm trying to teach myself now before I get into college so I'll have experiance before I take my Italian 101 class...\n\nI'm armed with an \n*Italian/English dictionary\n*A cool DVD that helps\n*A fun computer game that practices vocab\n*A book with games and grammar\n*5 CDs I can listen to while going to school\n\nAlso, I was on a plane going home from France last year and a French girl was seated next to me. She had a Harry Potter book in English and had a French/English dictionary at the ready. So, another tip would be to find a familiar book printed in Italian and see if you get through it. Good luck!

Get some words in the word processor.  It isn't important how it sounds yet, just get something written down.  I usually just writer a bunch of facts in sentence format.  After I get 20 or 30 written down, it's time to start grouping your thoughts and working on filler and transitions.\n\nYou will get there.  Remember a trip of a thousand miles starts with a single step.\n\nGood Luck

Buy an audio tape with learn tables to music. It will stick in yer brain easier when you have a tune to memorise them by.

Start with the past, move to the present, then talk about your plans for the future.\n\nTry to start with something intriguing like,\n\nWhen I tell people I was born in Laos, most people say, "Where?"\n\nor\n\nMy parents will remember November 9, 1989 for two reasons: it was the day the Berlin Wall fell and also the day I was born.

GOOD GO! NIKHIL\nbut everytime we always dont chose the same country...i'll give u a tip...now try to keep a country whose letter is very very unusual or the only country begining with that letter...or u could have a country who has a definite number to that letter...like the letter shud be the third in the country...and keep a country that is unique. \nbut thats all trash....IF U SERIOUSLY MADE IT UP..IT WAS VERY VERY GOOD....THE MATHS BEHING GETTING THE SAME NUMBER IS DEFINITELY VERY GOOD ALTHOUGH IT  SEEMS SIMPLE\nGOOD KEEP IT UP...

Let me tell you how I passed world history with a college teacher in his first year teaching 9th grade. Memorize everything to the absolute letter as far as notes. That was the only way.

first thing is to find a peaceful place (quiet)..\n\n I do this little studying table .. its very good.. it helps me organize my time .. for example  - In the first column write the days of the week  - second column write the name of the subject -the third column write the from which page till which page you'll study.. & the last column write the time you want to finish the selected pages..\n\nOK this might be confusing so i made you a table using this program "paint" i hope this will help :) \n\nthe pic is so small (40 KB) so it wont take long time \n\nfrom here you can download the pic :) just click the link http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ANQ3T9OQ\n\nGood luck with your exams, wish you all the best =)

Try Mind Mapping!!!\nWrite all the most important facts that need to be remembered on que cards, study them and then shuffle them and map them back together. That way u will remeber the facts and all the little bits that connect them!!!!!

Your link does not work but I assume you are asking about the memory for addresses section. That's the hardest part. First of all you will be given several practice tests on this section  so your memorization time will be well over 5 minutes. \n\nThink of a word association that corresponds to blocks A-E.  Try to learn only the streets that aren't broken. Eggs are better with cherries is an example. Answer those questions first and then go back to see if you can get the block ranges correct.  Don't guess but do take some practice tests from a book from a library.

Here are two things that may work for you. I had a friend tell me once that they would study by using the melody of a song. They would take the information they needed to know and memorize in the melody of their favorite songs. This way they knew the melody and words to the song and by replacing the lyrics with the subject they were studying they could remember what they needed to know.\n\nAlso, I had a teacher once tell some tips for remembering things. If he needed to remember a persons name, he would associate it with something to help him remember. If he needed to remember where he put his keys, when he would put them down he would imagine and act as though he was going to slam them right through the table. This way he would remember doing that and remember where he put them.\n\nHe also said he had a trick for studying for finals. What he would do is take the time to right up all his notes from the year/semester for the class. Doing this will help get you started studying because you will remember some of what you type. He would then start to memorize his notes. Taking away more and more as he remembered it until he would read all of his notes back to himself without looking at the paper once.\n\nHope this helps

1/  Make crib notes of important points to remember...these are good in jostling your memory...\n\n2/  After an hour of study...take a practise test on that subject/chapter...even if it is an old test...this breaks the monotomy of just reading and helps you see what testers would be looking for...so you know what to retain and what is okay to "know broadly"\n\n3/  Mix up your studying with discussion groups with your friends...be serious about it though....agree to read on a chapter and meet and discuss....you will actually remember more if you make the subject/material "come alive". Also a great way to learn difficult material....\n\n4/  Study early in the morning when you are fresh and likely to remeber more then spend the afternoon doing soemthing else....practise tests, discussion groups or just relaxing.

I recently was studying in Italy taking an italian language course and found that writing words on flashcards worked really well for me. Whether you sat going through them a few times a day or just picked up a couple when you had some spare time. I also stuck flashcards up on the walls and in places that i knew I would pass throughout the day, and before i knew it, I had memorized the words.

Go to the libray and get a few books on foreign policies WW11.Then get a book on Pres. Roos. and look up foreign policies. Make crib notes so you have info. while you are writing your history assigment at home.
