This is the Android App Version of Mnemonic Revision Helper. There is a java console version on GitHub under this url: https://github.com/iamrichardjones/mnemonic-revision-helper
Please be aware that this project is not in a state that I see as anywhere near ready. It is still a work in progress...
Exams are the bane of the lives of students. When I was memorising things I often used mnemonics to remember. For example
Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain
This is an easy way to remember the colours of the rainbow which are Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet.
It's a fact in life that advertising by brands is a hugely effective way of making people remember slogans.
These can be broken down into mnemonics too. Below are some example of very popular slogans
| Slogan | Company |
|---|---|
| The ultimate driving machine | BMW |
| The world's favourite airline. | British Airways |
| It's good to talk | British Telecom |
| Just Do It | Nike |
For example if I wanted to remember a list of things that was DIJ and the order made no meaning then I could remember Nike's slogan By remembering Nike's slogan I know that the the three items in this list each start with a J, a D and an I
This does not just relate to slogans too. Song titles could be used to remember among other things.
This project allows you to enters letters that you want to memorise and then it returns (hopefully) a more memorable mnemonic to help jog your memory.
And I could not do a project on mnemonics without referencing xkcd
