How to remeber things quick!

Gcse are getting close and if you have a content heavy subject like Geography or History you might run in to trouble

1) List assosiation
>Use assosiation with nubmers to items e.g 1=gun,2=loo,3=tree etc.
>Do this for as many number you need to and remeber the associated item
before you start the next step.(the more crazy the more memorable)
>Then assosiate the craziet image of this item such as a " a gun being slapped out of a Germans hand and hime being upset" which I used to remeber the terms of the treaty of versaille and carry

2) Memory palace
>Use a path or journey you know like a walk to school or around your house
>Place waky images around this route like "Hitler in the fridge"(the more crazy the more memorable)
>Then keep going throught and making sure you remeber your route from start to finish

If you have any question need examples or want to make any suggestion just
comment.
