 * Tip 1 - Use your visual memory **
 * Graphs . Need to memorize some stats? Draw a pie chart to help you compare figures and remember the most significant numbers.
 * Pictures.  Need to remember the fashion of the 1700s? Draw a picture to cement this information in [[image:http://www.memory-improvement-tips.com/images/stratovolcano.jpg align="right"]]your mind.
 * Labels.  Need to learn the anatomy of cell? Draw a picture and label the parts.
 * Highlight, circle, underline, or star important details.  Reading large chunks of information? Make the important parts stand out.
 * Make a memory tree

**Tip 2 - Create a Mnemonic** –this is a silly sentence to help you remember a sequence. Here are a few examples:




 * Tip 3 – Make associations with what you already know. **Connect the unfamiliar to things that are already familiar to you. Ex: Trying to memorize the Spanish word for party - //fiesta.// You can connect it to the English word “festive,” which means cheerful and celebratory—definite aspects of any good party!


 * Tip 4 - ** **Repetition** can be the most effective memory method, but only if you know how to use it. Many people use this trick to store information in their short term memory. In order to move the information into your long term memory, you must understand it. //So don’t just memorise facts.// Remember the reasoning behind them.
