((Memory improves when you make larger connections with what you're trying to remember, so I use these tricks whenever I want to memorize something: * Mneumonics * Place it to your favorite song * Associate it with a place * Make a lame joke out of it
Put all of that on index cards... and have fun =D Seriously--I best studied when I studied with a couple of friends, because we approached things in different ways and expanded on our lame jokes and associations ^_^))
