Make the information you need to memorize important. If it's important to you, you'll find it easier to remember.
	Make sure you have the information right and that you understand it thoroughly.
	Associate the new material with related facts that you already know.
	Organize the material so you can put it in its proper place in your memory. Try to see where it fits into a larger whole.
	Use more than one technique for remembering (experiment to see the ones which work best for you): Use the information - write it down, doodle with it, use it in conversations. Repetition - repeat or write it down multiple times. Recitation - say it out loud (multiple times). Teaching another - explain it to another person. Visualizing - picture the information (several times a day, whenever you remember that you should be studying it). Music and rhyme - make up a song or poem with the information in it. Sing the song or recite the poem several times. Association - connect the information with a "key" - a word, phrase or image that reminds you of something about the material you are trying to memorize. For example, if you need to memorize the scientific name of a fruit bat, try associating it with "Halloween".
