One of the methods is chaining. It's where you take a list and combine the first two items together into some visual imagery (a tree-car), then the second and third items (a car-dog), and so on down the list, so that you have a series of pictures to guide yourself down the list. Also a mnemonic device is another key memory aid, PEMDAS or please excuse my dear aunt sally for the order of operations, things like that. Also, writing on your hand is a valid memory tool and should be allowed on tests.
