Mnemonics/Memory systems?
Buy the book Mega Memory by Kevin Trudeau. It does take some training, especially for numbers, but it works!
What can i do to help my memory? I am Studying for an AP European History Final Exam?
Some people don't like being given a list of links to look at, (No matter how relevant they are.) if you are one of them, just ignore the answer I've given, you are in no way obliged to look at the links. Good Luck. 2 parts to the answer: Part 1 is a link on the subject. Part 2 is how to remember what you have studied. A P European History Topics and Web Links Page. http://www.historyteacher.net/APEuroCourse/EHAPTOpics_WebLinksPage.htm Mnemonics. Basic mnemonics These mnemonics can be applied immediately, although it certainly pays off to practice them first. All of these mnemonics are based on elaboration and association, which why we start out with these. Elaboration adds more meaning to a word, while association makes sure that two words are thoroughly linked together in memory. http://memory.uva.nl/memimprovement/eng/ Mnemonics (pronounced "ne-mon'-ics") is the art of assisting the memory by using a system of artificial aids - rhymes, rules, phrases, diagrams, acronyms and other devices - all to help in the recall of names, dates, facts and figures. http://www.eudesign.com/mnems/_mnframe.htm http://www.fun-with-words.com/mnemonics.html http://www.happychild.org.uk/acc/tpr/mne/index.htm Amanda's Mnemonics Page. http://www.netnaut.com/mnemonics.html

What are the better ways to remember years in history?
Mnemonics is the way to go.When I used to study history, I would usually construct some funny relations between the events and the date. Sometimes, I'd associate the date with dates that I am already aware of. Let's take a example. So, if I have to remember the date of the First World War, which was fought between 1914-1918, I'd make something relatable or funny.I can say 1914, where 14 sounds like 'Fought it'. 1918, where 18 sounds like 'ate it'. So, I could come up with a world war story where everyone was hungry for power, and in the end some of them ate it. It's just random, but it will help you remember, for sure.Let's take another example. World War II. Starting year 1939, where 39 can be made to sound like dirty time. Ending year 1945, where 45 sounds like fought it fine.This works, because in the process of memorizing, you are using both sides of your brain. You are using your logical side to remember the dates, while you're using your creative side to make associations. This will lead to better retention.Don't forget to revise from time to time. Better retention does not mean indefinite retention.Thanks for the A2A, Vishnu Theja Reddy.
