I used OIL RIG
Oxidation is loss, reduction is gain (of electrons)
I cant remember any others! Sorry! If you make up your own, make sure they're funny because then you'll remeber them. I also made loads of posters (in bright colours) and stuck them all round my room. What exam board are you doing?
Good Luck!

for some reason we use leo the lion and reg the rhino instead lol!
Leo = lose electrons oxidation
Reg = Reduction electrons gain
its more confusing than oil rig actually but its one that i always remember!
