There are many theories and ideas about improving memory, but there is one mnemonic method that has been around since ancient times.
Ancient accounts show that early Greek and Roman orators used the "loci" method of remembering long speeches and lists. You may be able to use this method to enhance your memory at test time.
The term loci refers to places or locations. To use the loci system, you will first need to thing of a place or route that you can picture in your head very clearly. It can be your house, your school bus route, or any place that contains clear landmarks or rooms.
For this example, we will use the thirteen original colonies as a list that we want to remember and your house as the method for remembering.
