Try mnemonic devices. They are associations that you make up to help remember events, things, places, people, etc.
A famous one is how to remember the planets and their order with a simple sentence.
My very educated mother just served us nine pizzas.
The first letter of each word stands for one planet beginning closest to the sun. Of course, now Pluto is out on it's own, so you can modify to your liking.
Mercury
Venus
Earth
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune
Pluto
Another is to study in the place where the learning took place and before a test, suck on a piece of hard candy and one on each break. It will help to smooth out brain function and crazy as it sounds, will help you to remember more.
On a test, usually your first response is correct unless you know for sure that you answered incorrectly.

....OH use flash cards. Not to stare at them. Have someone hold it out infront of you, and ZOOM it across your eye range really fast. It makes you remember it subconciously and gets stuck into your head FOREVA! :D Seriously. It rocks.
