One important skill in the Teach me how to Study is the memorization of facts and the techniques used.  When we forget certain things we think it is difficult to memorize but if we use the proper techniques/skills memory becomes our friend in times of testing.  If we create associations in what we are studying then we will retain the data necessary.  The biggest task is to make a particular study item a part of our life at the present.  To do this we use our imagination to get a picture in our mind of what we want to recall later.   The nest method in Memorization techniques is to make a silly story of what we need to recall later.  Since this method is like the one previously discussed combine them into a big picture for easy recall and make the story silly.  When you must memorize lists of items chose a place very close to you.  Place the items in the in your place a visualize them as a part of you.  A hint, with all of these techniques you should make them so ridiculously funny and maybe with sound, and smell.

The memorization techniques uses a number system to help you retain facts is using numbers for words and makes silly sentences.  For instance 1 = bun, 2 = shoe, 3 = tree, 4 = door and 5 = hive, 6 = sticks, 7 = heaven, 8 = gate, 9 = wine and 10 = hen.  All you need to do is make a sentence using the word for the number.  Use this method to recall a list of facts.  For structured concepts it is best to draw a mind map.  It works well by laying out the structure that shows the flow of the information to be retained.  This method would work for exams involving many short answer statements.  Another method that fits with all of these ideas is the use of acronyms.  Like using HOMES to remember the Great Lakes or that WAC is an acronym for Women Army Corps.  You use the first letter of a list to make up the acronym which is easier to study and recall.
