Little and often

Try to recall the stuff you studied more often. When you are free or bored, try to recall any topic you studied earlier. This will strengthen your roots and make you more aware of the areas you missed.

Acronyms

Acronyms help in remembering long lists, places names etc. For example, the acronym capp can be used to remember fruits cherry, apple, pear, and peach.

Make it a story

Practice

Say things out loud

Focus
