Memory Improvement Tips

Create a Story

If you are learning a long ordered list, then simply create a story or sentence out of the first
letter of each word in the list. Then, when you need to remember the list you will have the
first letter of each word to tip you off in case you forget. This is commonly used in math, for
example PEMDAS for parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition and
subtraction is frequently taught as please excuse my dear aunt sally to help kids remember

Mnemonics

This is a fancy way of saying that you use different senses to help you recall information.
This can be done through any of the senses, but words and pictures help. Also, when you

when you are studying long equation formulas, lists of information, and the like, come up
with some other word or pictures, even phrases that reinforces this knowledge and helps
you remember.
