what are mnemonic strategies?
553072
A mnemonic strategy is a device (like a word, phrase, song, whatever) that you use to remember something. One example is the mnemonic for remembering the Great Lakes: HOMES -- for lakes Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, and Superior.

No easy way to memorize...Just constantly using them will make them easier to remember.\nMake flash cards...place them randomly about the house,like the fridge, bathroom mirror, car seat, etc.   Before you cna use that object to must try to name the ion.  Flip the card to the other side to make you do the reverse the next time.

Memory is something that has to be trained. The more time you spend working on learning things the better you will learn them.\n\nOther than that, don't cram, study consistently throughout the semester and study in small increments of like 1/2 an hour to an hour. Then take a break before coming back to it.

Briefly:\n\norganize it. organized info is easier to find\nuse your body: learning is an active process; get all of your senses involved\nuse your brain: work with your memory, not against it\nRecall it: this is easier when you use the other principles to store information\n\ntry to make information meaningful, like how knowing this could win you money on jeopardy or something\n\ncreate associations between subjects and things you know. like margarita, the term or location, to margarita, the drink\n\nrelax!\n\ncreate pictures\n\nrecite and repeat\n\nwrite it down!\n\nreduce interference when you study, you dont need distractions when you are trying to study\n\noverlearn: that way you will be prepared for any off the wall questions\n\nsometimes you can use mnemonic devices, lake making acronyms and rhymes and stuff to information.\n\nGood luck on your tests!

The one used in England (that I learned as a boy):\n\nRichard Of York Gained Battles In Vain\n\nor (slight variation)\nRichard Of York Gave Battle In Vain\n\nThis one, and \nRun Off Young Girls, Boys In View\n \nare mentioned on the wikipedia page for mnemonics:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mnemonic\n.

Make a short mnemonic of all points and then try to run it thru ur mind, then it's easier to remember\nfor Network layers of ISO OSI MODEL : \nPHYSICAL-DATA LINK-NETWORK-TRANSPORT-SESSION-PRESENTATION -APPLICATION u can have \n"Please Do Not Throw Salami Pizza Away" an acronym of all points in a sentence with words beginning with these letters.\nThe more u learn to associate things n mnemonics, the more it is easier to remember. \nU v to train that brain of urs, tho.

Memory is linked to emotional/personal value (think about your clearest memories...usually there's intense sensory or emotional stuff going along with it). Depending on what you want the student to remember, bringing in music, dance, games such as hand clapping patterns, etc. all can help tremendously. Repetition is a big key, too, for fact recall, so drill, drill, drill!

Copy out the words or theorems, many times, repeating them and/or their translations aloud.  It gets boring, but it works.  (This was the principle behind the punishment of writing out lines.)  Put rules and theorems to music, if you are desperate.  Make up mnemonic devices--find a synonym for the word that starts or ends with the same letter or has similar spelling.

I've done a lot of research on this issue. The simple answer is:\n1. Adopt good eating habbits: Eat a potato, mellon or such other stuff regularly. It deals with the physical aspects of your memory.\n\n2. Adopt good nervous habbits: This way you can do a work with dedication.\n\n3. Drink water more and more, atleast 8 glass daily.\n\n4. Sleep good enough.\n\n5. Change your reading habbits: like take every question easy....stroll through the stuff before digging into it......and make good revision routine......\n\nIs the answer sufficient?

A few ways i've experimented with..\n\nHypnosis: i tried it, but i fell asleep and didn't get much from it\n\nSay things 11 times: it takes the average human 11 times before their brain memorizes it.\n\nPractice remembering exactly what a picture you looked at saw: I've been doing this for a while, and i must say that i almost have a photographic memory.. i can recite an entire sheet of paper after 1 minute looking at it

After following fungusbrain's solid advice, try to find mnemonic devices for important events.  Write down important events in order.  Do the first letters of each event spell a word, for instance?  Look for other ways in which they relate to help you remember them.

There are memory exercises (free on the net) that you can do to increase you ability to remember these numbers. I wouldn't risk cheating, ever. I do wish you luck, though.

Read it...Write it...Say it...Listen to it.  Whatever the material is you are studying.  This actually stores the information in 4 different places in your brain, increasing probability of recall.

I memorized by going over and over the material, just spending alot of time looking at it.  Also, exactly like someone else said, I have made flash cards from index cards, write the term on one side and the answer on the other.  I would punch a hole in the upper corner and put them on one of those rings that open and clasp shut.

Most people know that the best way to check that we understand something is to be able to explain it to others. \n\nConsider the lessons for us in the following: \n\nWe learn: \n10% of what we read \n20% of what we hear \n30% of what we see \n50% of what we both see and hear \n70% of what is discussed with others \n80% of what we experience personally \n90% of what we TEACH to someone else \nHow do YOU learn/revise? How could you do it better?\n\nWhen you are trying to remember important words or ideas, it helps tremendously to develop brain"hooks" as an aid. These are visual pictures or kinaesthetic memories which link to the word. It doesn't matter how logical, or how ridiculous these are, they can be a great aid to learning.\n\n"Memory men" are well used to using hooks when learning lists of names. eg "Shakespeare"  can conjure up quite an amusing picture which can act as a hook to the name.\n\nTry standing on one leg and tapping your head while you say a difficult to remember name out loud. The chances are that if you carry out the same action a week later, the word will spring into your mind.\n\nRhymes and pnemonics can also be very useful.Most of us remember "Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain" for the colours of the spectrum.\n\nWe are not all the same type of learner. Learning types can be simply divided into Visual (learn best by "seeing"), Auditory (learn best by "hearing" or Kinaesthetic (learn best by "doing"). We may learn better using one, or a combination of these types of learning.

To be used ONLY for difficult-to-remember things:\n\nMake flashcards, each with a question on one side and then the answer on the other side, e.g. What is an enzyme?  (on Side A).  On Side B write, "An enzyme is a protein, synthesize by the living cell, which catalyzes thermo-dynamically feasible reaction by lowering the energy of activation so that the rate is compatible with the conditions of the living cell." (that one I learnt years ago in biochemistry class in college, AND I STILL REMEMBER IT !!!)\n\nA) With 30 - 40 such cards, develop rules such that you and your friends can play a card game, using these cards. \n\nB) Challenge you little sister that by the end of the week, you will know, say, everything on cards 1 to 15.  For everyone you do not know, you will give her 50 cents!! \n\nC) If you have waiting time, such as 30 minutes on the bus, use it to review information on 5 of the cards.

One way? Unless you're cramming for the SATs like I am, a good way is to memorize 1-? words per day based on your abilities. I prefer 3-4 cause its simple and easy. Plan your words the night before, next morning, recite them. And do so throughout the day randomly. And at night, review.\nIt sounds long but each step litterally takes less than 4 minutes.
