Students studying at colleges and universities can often find
themselves overwhelmed with all the information they need to study and retain,
especially at exam time. Many have formed poor study habits,

Students are more likely to be successful, and far less
stressed, if have been studying all term, a bit at a time, and even more so if
they been employing good study skills, such as using mnemonics. Few instructors
wait until the end of term to examine students’ knowledge. As most give quizzes,
tests and exams as the course progresses, it makes sense to study as the course
progresses as well,

that may be useful. There are a plethora of methods of studying, many of which
depend upon the type of information being studied, such as lists of information

Mnemonics are simple study methods that make use of acronyms,
phrases and other devices in order to help retain and access information, be it
recalling a phone number, or a list of mathematical equations.
Creating
an acronym, which is a word that uses the first letter of each word appearing in
a list, is a good mnemonic device. Sometimes, in some fields, acronyms already
exist; other times you will need to create your own. One of the most well known
acronyms in North America is Roy B Giv - a created name to help students recall
the order of the colours of the rainbow. Acronyms work well for memorizing
non-numeric sequences, such as lists, though there are some that also work for
mathematics. A similar device is to use the first letter in each word to form a
phrase rather than a single word.
Mnemonic devices work best if they are
related to the topic being memorized, and they must still be
practiced.
