I had problems memorizing things in school too. I discovered the best way to remember something is through word association. After that, studying and passing tests was easy for me.

Come up with something totally stupid and un-related to associate the symbol with the correct definition. For example, in my government class last year we had to memorize all 27 amendments. The 13 amendment was to abolish slavery. How did I remember that? I associated thirteen with being unlucky, and since slavery is unlucky, I remember that abolishing it was the thirteenth amendment. It really makes no sense at all, but when you come up with silly stuff like that, it really helps :) Just try it out.

in my opinion, using flash cards are the best way to remember things quickly.

draw the symbol on one side of the card, and the definition of the other.

have someone hold them up for you, and do it over and over, until you can recite the definitions without hesitation.

hope this helps!! =]
