Writing things down or repeating them in my head always help me. For some strange reason, I’m better at remembering numbers than names. When I meet a new person, I have to repeat their name out loud to them, and then repeat it to myself like a million times before I can be sure I will remember it. (Sometimes I still forget, and that can be really embarrassing!!)

For things in class, take clear notes (you might have to develop your own ‘short hand abbreviations’). Then, take your notes home, and write them out in a more understandable way. Then, if you can’t find something you already know to associate facts with, just hold your notes in your lap and read the important facts until you can do it without looking.

Hope this helps. 🙂
