Memorization
When you want to memorize information, there is no substitute for repetition. Neural connections in the brain seem to get stronger and last longer when the same signals are repeated several times, and repeated again over a variety of time-scales. You should go over any material you want to memorize several times, then again the next day, then again the next week, then again the next month. Going over material may involve reading it to yourself, reciting it out loud, or writing it down on paper.
