Some people find that reading out loud helps them keep facts in memory. Listening to your own voice say what your eyes are reading is a kind of revision in itself. Link thoughts through associations Where long lists are involved, use the technique of associating one item to the subsequent one. The association should be vivid and interesting so that it remains embedded in your mind. The associations that you make should logically tie in with each other effortlessly.
Many people find memorizing dates very tedious.
Take some time to look at the dates carefully and try to associate them in some way to personally important dates that you never forget. It will then be very easy to recall them when needed. Remember the human mind is capable of having a phenomenal memory, we just need enough practice.
