Transition metals

Does anybody know a way to remember the colour changes for transition metal reactions? I have got a very awful memory and the exam is near so I am freaking out!
Any help would be very appreciated!
I could tell you but you're most likely to forget, hence your name.
Draw a chart of chain of reactions with transition metals ions.
Hang it infront of your Study Desk.
Use distinctive characteristics colour for each of the ions.
well you don't need soo many colour.
You need the mosts are --> Blue, green, Purple, Red --(orange, yellow)
Help yourself or make yourself to look at it atleast 20mins everyday learning the whole thing.
this helped me.
As there aren't any funnier way to learn transition metals because, you are going to stumble or jumble them up so its better not to.

I only know for vanadium and chromium by heart
For vanadium I remember them by You Better Get Vanadium. Yellow (VO2 +), Blue (VO2+), Green (V3+), Violet (V2+ )
For chromium, I made a flowchart several times and I'd write the colours under each formula and then after that I would just randomly test myself by making it on any rough paper whenever I felt like it
