Why waste time trying to remember difficult lists when you can remember a silly sentence instead?
By using funny phrases as "memory aids" you can have a laugh at the same time as cracking the answers for your next test.
For example, instead of remembering the names of all the planets in their correct order, try remembering this: Monsters Very Easily Make Jackie Stop Uttering Nasty Poems. In other words: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto.
Now try to forget that! Try making up your own silly sentence for your next test.
