Question

Answer 1

It depends on your learning style. Determine first if you are an auditory, visual, or kinestetic/tactile learner. This will make all the difference in your memory. If you are an auditory learner, the song will help best, but only if you say it and listen to yourself saying it- don't just write out the words and read it over and over. If you are visual and learn best by things you see (like when you take a test you look at the ceiling and picture the answer in your mind) then you'll want to have pictures of the presidents in order and lay them out across your ceiling around your room. Color them yourself (or at least the names) and then come up with a visual way to remember the names (like in Math how you use Please Excuse my Dear Aunt Sally to remember the order of opperations). Make a Mindmap or make an index card and color code your notes with different colored highlighters. Tactile/Kinestetic is the most difficult, especially if you don't realize this is your learning style. This is when you learn and remember through movement (K) or through small movements (T) You should have a different movement (kind of like sign language) for each president or do the song idea, but then add in movements ( I know it may sound very strange, but this will help you) Actually writing the names out may help, but don't waste your time doing this over and over (this is more a visual technique) Example: I had students do a paragraph dance with the steps of the paragraph to remember how to write a 5 paragraph essay. the steps each had a movement that meant something to the student. Or, I had them remember the 6 kingdoms of living things and the characteristics of each- all to movements. You must practice these. For example: Washington could be moving your arms like youare "washing the car", Also, when you are studying move around .If you are Kinestetic, it may even help to just chew gum or tap a pencil, and then repeat this during the exam. Also, for this learner (you will see some spelling bee champs do this) feel your lips as they mouth the words. This is a select few, but if it works for you, then you've found your trick.

Since there are so many presidents, you must break this down into groups before you even try to memorize. Break them into subgroups by a topic (like- timeperiod, type of policy, who has a beard, whatever helps you remember or even like we do the ABC's- a few at a time)- put no more than 5-6 in a group, since this is about what your brain can remember at a time.

Lastly, have someone quiz you a day or two before your test. If you wait until the last minute, your brain will not do the final sort out and settling of info and you'll experience your stress during the actual test instead of during your practice session. Make sure the actual practice is just like the real test is going to be if possible. That way you can practice using your memory strategies the way you will on the day of your test.

Answer 2

Here is a website that tells you each in order as well as when you click on the name of the president, it gives you a biography of them. Some things are learned best with a bit of info to relate to regarding their life. Sometimes, a bit of good old memorization is the way to go.

Answer 3

You can make up nonsense words or a nonsense song with the letters of the last names in combinations that you can remember more easily, or just make flash cards with their names on it and keep going over them in sequence. If you use different color flash cards it will help you visualize their sequence.

Answer 4

Seeing this question made me think of Animaniacs, and yes, there is a catchy Animaniacs song for it. Linking.

Answer 5

The tune to Yankee Doodle always worked for me.
