We all passed a point in our student life wherein we have to memorize/remember long lists of information. Not everyone is gifted with a photographic memory and most often than not, we tend to forget what we have memorized as time passes. If only we can create a way to remember them just like we remember our names.That is the purpose of Mnemonics. With a little creativity, we can say farewell to traditional memorization.
Here are some tips (based on my experience) on making effective Mnemonics:

1. Organize the Information into a sequence such that it can make sense to you.
2. Create a story using (as much as possible) the 1st letter of each item.
3. Use short and easy to recall words (You made a mnemonic to compress the information, not to burden you further)
4. Once you've made a story, Write it or shall I say practice Writing it. Writing really makes a difference, It is much more effective than just relying on verbal repetition.

Well that's it. Your comments and suggestion will also help a lot.

My apologies for delayed posting. I have been busy on chores. However I'm ready to blog again. So for our first Mnemonic. We will tackle the different Multi-Fibre Cable Color Coding Scheme. This can be found easily over the net, however, due to the sheer number (12 colors) one might have trouble memorizing/remembering them. So to reduce the load on your memory I hereby present to you the different Fibre cables and with its Mnemonic:

Notes:  

1.The Mnemonic only describes the 1st 12 colors. Cables 13-24 have the same color sequence   except for Cable 20 which is Black with Yellow Tracer.

2.All have black tracers except Cable 20(duh!).

There you go guys, I hope this mnemonic will help you in your review for the board exams
