Tips and Strategies for Memorizing Lists?

[gremlinbrawler]

Hey guys, I'm currently working on memorizing these lists for the BSBA Capstone TECEP. It used to be called strategic management but I think they just changed it to Business Administration Capstone or something. Anyway I found this amazing list from a thread on degreeforum. But that's a ton of lists! Does anyone have any good strategies for memorizing lists? I think I'm normally pretty good at rote memorization but the list is still a little antimidating haha. I might try using acronyms. Any other advice on memorizing these?

Thanks!!

Pneumonics and word associations work for me, but I think memorization strategies are a very personal thing.

I hate memorization but the only thing that works for me is writing everything out multiple times. That is a lot of writing though!

I like that link - is that comprehensive of everything on the exam or is that just one portion? I'm not real familiar with the business capstone. I've considered taking the TECEP just in case I want to add a second major and don't want to get stuck paying for a second capstone if they do away with this one in the future.

I use name or expression mnemonic technique for lists; strengthened by audio repetition. I record everything into my DVR (mp3 files) and listen a few times a day through computer and ipod (or phone) over and over til I can either repeat verbatim or the idea is cemented into my psyche. This system has never failed me. But as stated everyone is different. Test a few different methods until you find what works best for you.
