    make up a REALLY RUDE poem that helps you memorise the term.
    My aunt used to do this when she was at uni, and she still remembers things 30 years later!!

    i wish i could help you but i have no ideas. good luck.

  • squidandcody:

    There are websites with acronyms (words or phrases the first letters of which each indicate a term)if you are memorizing a list of things or something. For individual words, I always try to come up with something else they remind me of.

    Don’t worry.Link the important biology terms to ur day to day life.Whenever u r free always keep memorising the terms.If y r really interested in biology,terms doesn’t really matter.If u go on practising the terms u will find it very easy.PRACTICE MAKES MAN PERFECT.All the best.

    don’t take bio .that’s what i did

  • one_of1000000s:

    well, u can write the terms on a seperate paper
    figur out the difinition of each (the ones ur interested in)
    and when u understand it, the term will stcik to ur mind.
    Example: what is a "Codon"? it’s a 3 letters word that composes a small part of DNA

    Make up stories with the capital letters of the important point that you want to remember.
    For example – for the types of wounds
    I Like Christmas Pudding.
    for I = incised
    L = lacerated
    C = contused
    P = punctured
    Make yourself remember it by singing it and it will stick in your head better, put it to a song you like.
    Best of luck with your work.
